Those little dashes on the sides tell us that the sides having those dashes have equal length

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Its an isoceles triangle so the bases are equal and the side lengths are equal right?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

Very close! since "all" sides have a little dash, all sides are equal

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

that means the triangle is equilateral (all sides equal)

OpenStudy (camerondoherty):

Its equalateral? Oh, I see now, so all the angles equal 60 degrees So I just solve for x and y I didn't catch tht, Thanks! c:
