how do i find the angle measures of a triangle if i only know one measure?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

is this a right triangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no isosceles

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

can you draw a pic of it? better yet, can you post a screenshot?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1365971783057:dw| like that

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok and you only know one angle, do you know any of the sides?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

more skinnier

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

label any angles or sides you know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so you just know one angle?

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

oh I see what to do nvm, so is the base angle known? or the vertex angle known?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes the top one is 36, and the other two bottems ones are m

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

ok the vertex angle is 36 the base angle is m all 3 must add to 180

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so m + m + 36 = 180

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

2m + 36 = 180 2m = 180 - 36 2m = 144 m = ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

exactly

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is m

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

well if 2m = 144, then dividing both sides by 2 gives you ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh thankyouuuuuuuuuuuuu

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

so m = ???
