Question

The measure of an angle in a triangle is 40. The other two angles are congruent to each other .What is the measure of each congruent angle?

Answer 1

Answer: the measure of each congruent angle in the triangle is 70 degrees.

Step-by-step explanation: In a triangle, the sum of all three angles is always 180 degrees.

Given that one angle is 40 degrees, and the other two angles are congruent (meaning they have the same measure), we can solve for the measure of each congruent angle.

To find the measure of each congruent angle, we can follow these steps:

1. Subtract the given angle from the sum of all three angles: 180 - 40 = 140 degrees.

2. Divide the remaining degrees by 2 to find the measure of each congruent angle: 140 / 2 = 70 degrees.

Answer 2

70 degrees

Explanation:

All angles of a triangle should add up to 180 degrees. Therefore, we can take away the amount we know from 180 to get our answer:

180 - 40

140

Now divide 140 by the two congruent (meaning same) angles:

140 / 2

70 degrees
