LMN a isosceles,LM=LN. Find the angle x and angle y
Answers
hey mate!
given LM=LN
let angle LMN=angle LNM=a
80+a+a=180
2a=100
a=50°
x=y=180-50°=130°
hope the answer helps u
Answer:
x=y=130
Step-by-step explanation:
angle L=80
We need to find angle x angle y
Look at the above image
It is an Isosceles triangle
LM=LN
So base angles are equal..
a=b
Angle sum of triangle is 180
80+a+b=180
80+a+a=180
Solve the equation....
80+2a=180
2a=100
a=100/2
a=50
angle a is 50
so angle b also 50
x and b together forms a straight line that is they are linear pair
x+b=180
x+50=180
x=180-50
x=130
y and a together forms a straight line that is they are linear pair
y+a=180
y+50=180
y=130
Or
Look at the above image
angle c is an exterior angle
angle c and angle L form 180
c+80=180
c=180-80
c=100
Sum of exterior angle of any polygon is 360
c+x+y=360
Base angle are equal
a=b
180-a=y
180-b=x
Both are same
so we can say that
x=y
c+x+y=360
100+x+x=360
100+2x=360
2x=360-100
x=260/2
x=130
x=y =130
