The measure of the third angle in an isosceles triangle is 60% greater than the measure of each equal angle. Find the measure of the third angle.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = measure of the two equal angles
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "1.60x = measure of third angle
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "x + x + 1.60x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "3.60x = 180
\n" ); document.write( "x = 50 (measure of equal angles)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Measure of third angle:
\n" ); document.write( "1.60x = 1.60(50) = 80 degrees \n" ); document.write( "
