So b= 14 there isn’t any difference because B and C are the same that’s what I think so B and C are probably equal 14 and 14 or the difference that b is 14 we need to now C let’s say C is X let’s times 14time

Answer:

156

Explanation:

Let measure of angle C = x.

Then, the measure of angle B is 14x.

14x + x = 180

15x = 180

x = 12

14x = 14(12) = 168

168 - 12 = 156
