   Base Angles Theorem:
    ◦ If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then their
      opposite angles are also congruent.


   Converse of the Base Angles Theorem:
    ◦ If two angles of a triangle are congruent, then
      their opposite sides are also congruent
   Equilateral triangles are also
    equiangular

   Equiangular triangles are also
    equilateral
   If the hypotenuse and one leg of a
    right triangle are congruent to those
    of another right triangle, then the two
    triangles are congruent
