- The base of the triangle is ,
- The measure of is given as ,
- The measure of is given as .
You are asked to find the degree measure of each angle in the triangle.
Step-by-Step Solution:
In an isosceles triangle, the two base angles are equal. Therefore, and must be congruent. So, we can set the two expressions for the angles equal to each other:
Now, solve for :
- Subtract from both sides:
- Add 20 to both sides:
- Divide both sides by 2:
Now, substitute back into the expressions for and :
- ,
- .
Finally, the angle at is calculated by using the fact that the sum of the angles in any triangle is 180°. Thus,
Final Answer:
- ,
- ,
- .
