Congruent Isosceles Triangles

      My waffle maker has four sections that create “waffle triangles” and is used on holidays or special occasions. Even though one edge of each triangle is slightly rounded, the finished products are almost perfectly straight. All four triangle sections are congruent to each other, and the sides that they share are also congruent. Because they both have two congruent sides, they also have two congruent angles. When my family had the waffle maker sitting out on the kitchen counter, I quickly noticed the congruence of the shapes that form the waffle. Waffle makers are very common in households as well as restaurants. We use the waffle maker for Christmas Brunch and it is used by others at diners, breakfast shops, and other places. Also, the congruent triangle set-up makes the waffles prettier to serve and easier to eat, as the triangles are very similar to a slice of pizza.
