Question 825894: i'm doing a SAT practice test and i found a very simple question that I thought the answer could be easily either one...
QUESTION: A certain triangle has two angles of equal measure. If the length of one side is 24 and another side is 50, what is the length of the third side?
The answer given: 50
I figured from the problem that if two angles are equal, then the side opposite of those angles are equal too. But I was stuck from there because it doesn't give any angle measurements, which I'm assuming isn't needed.
So before figuring that out, i was formulating in my head that if i get at least two angle measurements and double whichever of them would add up to 360. So then, if the larger angle measure is doubled then I figured the answer would be the bigger side (50), and vice-versa.
Anyway...can you please show me how this problem is done?
