Question 648851: An isosceles triangle has two angles whose measures are equal. If the third angle of the triangle measures 65 degrees, what are the measures of the other two equal angles? Answer by shweta(56) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given : one angle ,say'x' of an isosceles triangle= 65 degree
Let other two angles which are equal be 'y' degree
Now we know sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180 degree
So, x+y+y=180
65+2y=180
2y=180-65
2y=115
y=115/2
y=57.5
The measure of other two equal angles is 57.5 degree each
