Question 1074104: A teacher instructed her students to draw an isosceles triangle that has at least one angle that measures 75° and exactly one side that measures 12 centimeters.
Using the teacher’s instructions, how many different triangles can be drawn that have the same angle and side measures? Enter your answer in the box.

At first I thought the answer was 4 such isosceles triangles.  
And I drew them to scale below.  But then I looked again and
noticed the words "exactly one side that measures 12 centimeters"
So I had to cross out the first and third triangles because they
have two sides equal to 12 centimeters. So the answer is 2.
