Math Problem Statement
Solve 33
Solution
To solve question 33, we analyze the given triangle. It is an isosceles triangle, as shown by the marks indicating two equal sides. In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal.
Steps to solve:
-
Let the unknown angles at the base be y° (both of them).
-
The sum of all angles in any triangle is .
-
Thus, the equation for this triangle is:
Since the vertex angle is , the equation simplifies to:
-
The problem does not provide a specific value for , so we can only express in terms of :
Final Answer:
- If a specific value is given, substitute it to calculate .
