Question

Triangle CAT is an isosceles triangle with base angles C and T each represent by (3x + 11) degrees, while angle A is represented by (9x + 8) degrees. Find the measure of angle C.

Answer 1

Angle C = 41°

Explanation:

Given:

Angle C = (3x + 11) degree

Angle T = (3x + 11) degree

Angle A = (9x + 8) degree

Find:

Angle C

Computation:

Using angle sum property

(3x + 11) + (3x + 11) + (9x + 8) = 180

15x + 30 = 180

x = 10

So,

Angle C = (3x + 11) degree

Angle C = 3(10) + 11

Angle C = 41°
