In an isosceles triangle,the two equal angles are 60%greater than the thirdangle
What is the measure of each angle?
--------------
Let the 3rd angle be "x".
Then 1st and 2nd are each 1.6x
------------
EQUATION:
1.6x + 1.6x + x = 180
4.2x = 180
x = 42.857 degrees (3rd angle)
1.6x = 68.57 degrees (each of the equal angles)
