Question 1073090: THe measure of the obtuse angle in the isosceles triangle is two an a half times the measure of one base angle. Write and solve a system of linear equations to find the measures of all the angles.
THe image provided had a triangle with y to the power of zero at the top and
an x to the power of 0 in each bottom corner.

If you want a system of TWO EQUATIONS in variables x and y, then system%28y=%285%2F2%29x%2Cy%2B2x=180%29.


2.5x%2B2x=180
4.5x=180
x=40

highlight%28y=100%29
