Question

Triangle JKL is isosceles. The measure of angle J is 72° and the measure of angle K is 36°. Which statement describes angle L?

Angle L is a base angle and measures 36°.
Angle L is a base angle and measures 72°.
Angle L is a vertex angle and measures 36°.
Angle L is a vertex angle and measures 72°.

Answer 1

I know its 72

Answer 2

A triangle has 180 degrees so angle L should measure
180 -72 -36 ??
Also in an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal.

Answer 3

The three angles are 72 72 and 36
What are the base angles?

Answer 4

okay cool i understand

Answer 5

okay then

Answer 6

wait sorry

Answer 7

the base angle isnt 72

Answer 8

the base angles are marked and are equal

Answer 9

so i was right . it is 72

Answer 10

the 3 angles are either 36,36 and 72 or 36,72, and 72.
Since the 3 angles must add up to 180 degrees only one of these is possible.
