Answer:

x=71

Explanation:

Since this is an isosceles triangle the bottom 2 angles are equal.

The three angles of the triangle are x, x, and 38. They must add to 180 degrees

x+x+38 = 180

Combine like terms

2x+38=180

Subtract 38 from each side

2x+38-38 = 180-38

2x = 142

Divide each side by 2

2x/2 =142/2

x =71
