Question 792097: Hello. I have an assignment but I don't know how to solve some of these word problems (that are algebraic equations by the way) but I already know the answers by guess and check. Okay so "A family of Isosceles triangles has the property that the two equal angles are each 2/15 of the angle. Find the measure of all 3 angles" so the equation I think would be 180=x(times) 2/15. the angles are 19,19, and 142 but I don't know how to show it. :)
