Answer:

x = 5

y = 46

z = 88

Explanation:

x is opposite one of the equal base angles. The other side is marked 5. Therefore x = 5

y is opposite one of the equal sides. It is an angle. It is equal to the other base angle whose measurement is given. y = 46

y + 46 + z = 180 All triangles have 180 degrees. y = 46 (above)

46 + 46 + z = 180

92 + z = 180 Subtract 92

z = 180 - 92

z = 88
