Δ ABC is isosceles. Angles B and C are congruent. If m∠B = (5x + 5)° and m∠C = (7x - 25)°, Find m∠A.
what you know about isoscele triangles ? has two angles and the corresponding sides congruent - how is given - in case of your posted problem angle B congruent angle C given m<B = (5x+5)° and m<C=(7x-25)° in this way we can write 5x+5 = 7x -25 using this equation you can calcule the x value - then you substitute the x value inside these expressions of m<B and m<C in place of x you can calcule easy the value of angle measure of B and C ATTENTION ! NEED BE EQUAL BC. ARE CONGRUENT ANGLES !!! - hope you know that the sum of angles measure of a triangle is equal 180 degrees - so assuming angle measure of B and C and this sum then subtract from 180 you will get easy the angle measure of A hope helped understandably easy @supie
@AZ any idea here pls. ? ty
