Algebra.Com's Answer #681355 by KMST(5328) You can put this solution on YOUR website! The triangle in this problem is not clearly described, \n" ); document.write( "but the problem does not make sense unless it is an isosceles triangle. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "In an isosceles triangle, \n" ); document.write( "there are two sides of equal length that we call legs, \n" ); document.write( "joined at a vertex that is called the apex. \n" ); document.write( "The other side is called the base, \n" ); document.write( "and the angles adjacent to the base, \n" ); document.write( "both having the same measure, \n" ); document.write( "are called base angles. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "In any triangle, the measure of an exterior angle \n" ); document.write( "is the sum of the measure of the two interior angles \n" ); document.write( "that are not adjacent to that exterior angle. \n" ); document.write( "If the exterior angle by the apex measures \n" ); document.write( "each of the base angles measures \n" ); document.write( "The apex angle, supplementary to the \n" ); document.write( "measures |
