Question 814989: I have a triangle. The right side and the left side have a line showing they are congruent. The left hand corner of the triangle is 35 degrees. The right hand corner is x. And the top is y.
So it is a triangle with 3 spots. 2 in the corner, one on the top. The left corner is 35 degrees and the other two spots are x and y. Can you find the value of x and y.
If two sides are congruent then the angles opposite the two congruent sides must be congruent (isosceles triangle). So x = 35. You can calculate y because the sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is always 180 degrees and since you now know two of the three angles...
