Question 756907: Seventeen spires grace the majestic Cadet Chapel at the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. Each spire is an isosceles triangle with a 40° vertex angle. Find the measure of each base angle
Answer by Cromlix(4381) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Isosceles triangles have two equal
sides and two equal angles.
If the vertex angle is 40 degrees
then the base angles will be 180 -
40 = 140/2 = 70 degrees each.
Hope this helps.
:-)
