OpenStudy (anonymous):

|dw:1371666964104:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

120

OpenStudy (anonymous):

z=120 degrees?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@TEndy1

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

actually Z is not 120 degrees

OpenStudy (anonymous):

could you help me out @ivettef365 ?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

a line = 180, so you know that so what is angle x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40 degrees?

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

to find angle x subtract 180 - 120

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

since it is an isosceles triangle angle x and angle z are the same

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

and because of the measures, it is actually an equiangular triangle

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so yeah \[z=40 degrees ?\]

OpenStudy (ivettef365):

what is 180 - 120 = ?
