i have a project i am looking for an i need the angles for the triangle,the base of my project is 51 1/2 inches wide, when finished the project will be 36 inches high. i figure i should split the triangle into two congruent triangles. this would lead to two right triangles each with a base of 25 1/4 and a vertical of 36 inches. i need to know the remaining two angles.

\n" ); document.write( "If you are going to split your base of 51 1/2 inches, it would mean
\n" ); document.write( "25 3/4
\n" ); document.write( "Instead of the
\n" ); document.write( "25 1/4
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "To find the angles, you can apply trigonometry:
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = congruent angles at the base
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "tan x = 36/25.75
\n" ); document.write( "tan x = 36/25.75
\n" ); document.write( "x = 54.42 degrees (angle at the base of isosceles triangle)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Other angle:
\n" ); document.write( "180 - 2(54.42) = 180 - 108.85 = 71.15 degrees
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Your three angles are:
\n" ); document.write( "54.42, 71.15 and 54.42 degrees
