Enter your answer in the box.

y =

Answer 1

39

Explanation:

X-5=34

X=39

Because it’s isosceles has two sides congruent .

34+5=39

Answer 2

y=28

Explanation:

1. As ABC is an isosceles triangle, that means that angle A is congruent to angle B, which means angle B measures 34˚.

2. The sum of the angles of a triangle add up to 180˚. So, make an equation:

A+B+C=180

As we already know A and B, plug them in:

34+34+C=180

Then solve:

C=112˚

3. As we know that C=4y, we can solve for y: 112/4=28
