Each of the two equal angles of an isosceles triangle is twice the third ange. Find the angles
Answers
Answer:
Hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
let the triangle be x the the other two will be 2x,2x
sum of angles of a triangle= 180degree
2x+2x+x=180
5x=180
x=180/5
x=36 degree
So the third angle=36 degree
and the other two will be 72 degree
Answer:
The three angles of the isosceles triangle are 72°, 72° and 36°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Each of the two equal angles of an isosceles triangle is twice the third angle.
To find :
the angles if the isosceles triangle
Solution :
Let the two equal angles be 'x' each and 'y' be the third angle.
We know,
Sum of the three angles of the triangle is equal to 180°
x + x + y = 180°
2x + y = 180° ––[1]
It is given that each of the two equal angles is twice the third angle.
x = 2y
Substitute x = 2y in equation [1],
2(2y) + y = 180°
4y + y = 180°
5y = 180°
y = 180°/5
y = 36°
Therefore, the third angle is 36°
Put y = 36°,
x = 2(36°)
x = 72°
The two equal angles are 72° each
Hence, the three angles of the isosceles triangle are 72°, 72° and 36°
