Question 1192514: Can i please get help..
A surveyor knows that a lot has the shape of an isosceles triangle. If the vertex angle measures 80° and each equal side is 160 feet long, what measure (in degrees) does each of the base angles have?
we have an ISOSCELES TRIANGLE, but we are given the VERTEX ANGLE , which gives us the equation: BASE ANGLE + VERTEX ANGLE+ SECOND BASE ANGLE = 180. If you make both base angles a variable and the vertex angle 80 , you will find the value of 'x' ,which is a base angle.
