  • Equilateral Triangle Theorem
    ::等边三角定理

    Equilateral Triangle Theorem : All equilateral triangles are also equiangular. Furthermore, all equiangular triangles are also equilateral.
    ::等边三角理论:所有等边三角也都是等角。此外,所有等角三角也都是等边三角。

    If A B ¯ B C ¯ A C ¯ , then A B C . Conversely, if A B C , then A B ¯ B C ¯ A C ¯ .
    ::如果AB BCAC,那么ABC。 相反,如果ABC,那么ABBABAC。

    What if you were presented with an equilateral triangle and told that its sides measure x , y , and 8? What could you conclude about x and y ?
    ::假若有人对你们提出一个对等三角形,并且对你们说,其两边的度量是X,y,和8,你们能得出什么结论呢?对于 x,y,你们能得出什么结论呢?

    Example 2
    ::例2

    True or false: All equilateral triangles are .
    ::真实的或虚假的: 所有等边三角形都是 。

    This statement is true. The definition of an isosceles triangle is a triangle with at least two congruent sides. Since all equilateral triangles have three congruent sides, they fit the definition of an isosceles triangle.
    ::此语句是真实的。 等分三角形的定义是一个至少有两个相容面的三角形。 由于所有等分三角形都有三个相近面, 它们符合等分三角形的定义 。

    Example 3
    ::例3

    Find the value of x .
    ::查找 x 的值。

    Because this is an equilateral triangle 3 x 1 = 11 . Solve for x .
    ::因为这是一个等边三角形 3x-1=11。 解决 x 。

    3 x 1 = 11 3 x = 12 x = 4

    ::3x-1=113x=12x=4

    Example 4
    ::例4

    Find the values of x and y .
    ::查找 x 和 y 的值。

    The markings show that this is an equilateral triangle since all sides are congruent. This means all sides must equal 10 . We have x = 10 and y + 3 = 10 which means that y = 7 .
    ::标记显示,这是一个等边三角形, 因为所有边都是相似的。 这意味着所有边必须等于 10 。 我们有 x= 10 和 y+3= 10, 这意味着y= 7 。

    Example 5
    ::例5

    Two sides of an equilateral triangle are 2 x + 5 units and x + 13 units. How long is each side of this triangle?
    ::等边三角形的两面是 2x+5 单位和 x+13 单位。 这个三角形的两面需要多久?

    The two given sides must be equal because this is an equilateral triangle. Write and solve the equation for x .
    ::给定的两边必须是相等的, 因为这是一个等边三角形。 写入并解析 x 的方程 。

    2 x + 5 = x + 13 x = 8

    ::2x+5=x+13x=8

    To figure out how long each side is, plug in 8 for x in either of the original expressions. 2 ( 8 ) + 5 = 21 . Each side is 21 units.
    ::要找出每边的长度, 在原始表达式中的任意一种中, x 插入 8 。 2( 8)+5=21。 每边为 21 个单位 。
