is it a?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

37.5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not quite. Let the missing angle be \(x\). Since it's isosceles and all of the angles in a triangle need to add up to \(180^\circ\), we can say:\[x+x+105^\circ = 180^\circ\]Now, just solve for \(x\).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it's B. You do: 180- 105 = 75. So 75 is the sum of the other two angles which also equal. So just an algebraic intuition here, if each angle is x, we can say: x+x=75 => 2x=75 => x = 75/2 = 37.5
