are equal, then the angles opposite to them are also
equal. (Three figures are necessary)

If two sides of a triangle are congruent , then the angles opposite to these sides are congruent.
∠P≅∠Q
Proof:
Let S be the midpoint of PQ¯¯¯¯¯ .
Join R and S .
Since S is the midpoint of PQ¯¯¯¯¯ , PS¯¯¯≅QS¯¯¯¯¯ .
By Reflexive Property ,
RS¯¯¯¯¯≅RS¯¯¯¯¯
It is given that PR¯≅RQ¯¯¯¯¯
Therefore, by SSS ,
Therefore, by SSS ,ΔPRS≅ΔQRS
Since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent,
∠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 , then AC¯≅BC¯¯¯¯¯ .
