how to find the two missing angles when only one angle is given in a triangle?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

Are you sure no other information is given..any info on triangle type equilateral, isosceles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ankit042 here is the given.. |dw:1374668420107:dw| so hard. :|

OpenStudy (ankit042):

This looks like a right angled triangle!

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you cant assume by "looks like" :)

OpenStudy (ankit042):

@amistre64 Any suggestions how to move forward without assuming?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

get a screenshot or some verifiable means of assessing the actual data for the question.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

at the moment ... anyones assumptions are equally valid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So confusing..

OpenStudy (phi):

you need more information. if the angle labeled x has a little square, like this |dw:1374669130809:dw| that means it is 90º and you can figure out the 3rd angle. otherwise, you can't know what the other 2 angles are.... all you know is that all 3 add up to 180... in this case, with one angle =75, the other 2 angles add up to 105º

OpenStudy (phi):

or, as people of mentioned, if you know 2 sides are equal length, then you can figure out the other angles

OpenStudy (fifciol):

isn't there instead of x a dot?

OpenStudy (ankit042):

@stupidinmath sorry for the confusion...with the given information if X=90 you can move forward else this is not a valid question.

OpenStudy (fifciol):

@stupidinmath doesn't it look like this?: |dw:1374669547027:dw|
