Question

Find the values of x & y. Explain your thinking and include terms or concepts like "the sum of the angles in a triangle," base angles, and isosceles triangles.

Answer 1

x=32°,y=116°

Explanation:

Since they are isosceles angles, being angles subtended at isosceles sides

x=32°

Sum of the angles in a triangle = 180°

⇒ 32+x+y=180

⇒ y=116°
