Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

The value of x is 68 degrees!

Explanation:

In this question, we have an isosceles triangle because of Base Angles Theorem. The 2 sides are congruent, which means its an isosceles and that the Base angles are congruent. So far, we know that 2 angles are equal to 112 degrees. Due to Sum Angles Theorem, we can go 180-112 to get 68 degrees!

Answer 2

x=68

Explanation:

Since this is an isosceles triangle, the bottom two angles are the same value, 56 degrees. The three angles of a triangle add to 180 degrees.

56+56+ x = 180

Combine like terms

112 +x = 180

Subtract 112 from each side

112-122 +x = 180 -112

x =68
