in an isosceles triangle one angle is three times the measure of one of the equal angles, find the measure of each angle
---------------------------
Let the size of the equal angles be "x".
The size of the 3rd angle is 3x.
---
Equation:
x + x + 3x = 180
5x = 180
x = 36 degrees (size of each of the base angles)
3x = 108 degrees (size of the 3rd angle)
