HW Complete the Practice Test for tomorrow.
EC question...Find the product of (3x-4)(2x+7)(9x-10).
Geometry H pds 3,5,6
Today, we went over the proof for the theorem that the base angles of an isosceles triangle are always congruent. The converse statement is also true.
So, if the base angles of a triangle are congruent, then the 2 sides next to those angles are congruent.

EC problem....Draw isosceles triangle ABC with angle A= angle B. Draw in the angle bisector of the vertex angle (C).
Prove that side AC is congruent to side BC. Use a two column proof.
If done correctly, I will reward 5 extra credit points.
