Question

2) m angle2=x+88 50° 2 A) -8 C) 8 B) -7 D) 7

Answer 1

A

1) Since the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180º, and this is an isosceles triangle

2) Then the other angle, has the same measure 50º since this is an isosceles triangle, at least two congruent sides, and two congruent angles.

We can finally write

x+88 +50 +50 = 180

x +188 =180 subtract 188 from both sides

x= 180-188

x= -8

3) So x=-8 is the answer.
