If two sides of a triangle are congruent , then the angles opposite to these sides are congruent.

∠P≅∠Q∠P≅∠Q

Proof:

Let SS be the midpoint of PQ¯¯¯¯¯PQ¯ .

Join RR and SS .

Since SS is the midpoint of PQ¯¯¯¯¯PQ¯ , PS¯¯¯¯¯QS¯¯¯¯¯PS¯QS¯ .

By Reflexive Property ,

RS¯¯¯¯¯RS¯¯¯¯¯RS¯RS¯

It is given that PR¯¯¯¯¯RQ¯¯¯¯¯PR¯RQ¯

Therefore, by SSS ,

ΔPRS≅ΔQRSΔPRS≅ΔQRS

Since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent,

∠P≅∠Q∠P≅∠Q

The converse of the Isosceles Triangle Theorem is also true.

If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are congruent.

If ∠A≅∠B∠A≅∠B , then AC¯¯¯¯¯BC¯¯¯¯¯AC¯BC¯ .

plz hope thes helps can u plz mark me as branlyist pl sorry i can brely spell :(
