Math Problem Statement
find the measure of x.
Solution
The triangle in the image is an equilateral triangle, as indicated by the equal-length sides denoted by the tick marks on each side. In an equilateral triangle, all three interior angles are equal.
Since the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is , each angle in an equilateral triangle is:
Therefore, the measure of angle at vertex is .
