Determine the measure (in degrees) of the third angle in an isosceles triangle, if the third angle is 10 more than one-half of either of the equal measure angles. \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "--------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Let each of the equal angles be \"x\":
\n" ); document.write( "3rd angle is (1/2)x+10.
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "sum of angles = 180
\n" ); document.write( "x + x + (1/2)x + 10 = 180
\n" ); document.write( "(5/2)x = 170
\n" ); document.write( "x = (2/5)170
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "x = 2*34
\n" ); document.write( "x = 68 degrees
\n" ); document.write( "3rd angle: (1/2)x+10 = (1/2)68+10 = 44 degrees.
