(180-120)/2

What?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the total interior angels of a triangle are 180, if one angle is 120 and the triangle is isoceles then the ther two angles are equal so 180-120 then divide by 2

Sweet :) so the answer is 30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

Directrix (directrix):

30 |dw:1331193527543:dw| Base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. The vertex angle of the triangle =120 which leaves 60 for the sum of the other two angles. They are equal in measure and each has measure 30.
