An angle not congruent to the base angles of an isosceles triangle?
The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. The vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is not necessarily congruent to the base angles.
Is the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle congruent to the base angles?
No, because then it would become an equilateral triangle.
What is a counter example for the statement congruent angles are always vertical angles?
Vertical angles must necessarily be congruent, however congruent angles do not necessarily have to be vertical angles. An example of congruent angles which are not vertical angles are the 3 interior angles of an equilateral triangle. These angles do not share the same vertex yet they are congruent.
What trianlge as 2 congruent sides?
Well a triangle with two congruent sides would be called a isosceles triangle. It has a vertex, two base angles, two legs, and a base.
In an isosceles triangle does the median to the base bisect the vertex angle?
In the diagram, ABC is an isoscels triangle with the congruent sides and , and is the median drawn to the base . We know that ∠A ≅ ∠C, because the base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent; we also know that ≅ , by definition of an isosceles triangle. A median of a triangle is a line segment drawn from a vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side. That means ≅ . This proves that ΔABD ≅ ΔCBD. Since corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent, that means ∠ABD≅ ∠CBD. Since the median is the common side of these adjacent angles, in fact bisects the vertex angle of the isosceles triangle.
What does isosceles triangle look like?
An isosceles triangle has at least two equal sides and two equal angles An isosceles triangle has two or more congruent sides called legs. In an isosceles triangle with just two congruent sides, the angle formed by the legs is called the apex, and the other two angles, called base angles, are congruent. If the isosceles triangle has three congruent sides (AKA an equilateral triangle), then all three sides and angles are congruent, and there are no definitive base or vertex angles, besides...all of them.

What is the difference between vertical angles and congruent angles?
not all congruent angles are vertical angles. Vertical angles must share a vertex.
Does the angle bisector of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle divides the triangle into two congruent?
Only if the vertex angle being bisected is between the sides of equal length will the result be two congruent triangles.
What is the measure of the base angle of an isosceles triangle if the vertex measures 38 degrees?
(180 - 38)/2 = 71 degrees (base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent).
Is this true congruent angles share they vertex and a side?
NO
