Answer:

170⁰

Explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two angles that are the same length. We can see from the figure that CD = DE. This means that the two angles at C and E must be equal to each other. Therefore, we can write:

(2x + 17)⁰ = (8x - 13)⁰

-6x = -30

x = 5⁰

The two angles are 5⁰ each

We also know that the sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180⁰.

180 - 5⁰ - 5⁰ = 170⁰
