Answer 1

40 degrees

Explanation:

We know that the base angles are congruent (a fancy word for equal) because of the slash marks. This means that both of the base angles are 70.

Every triangle adds up to 180 degrees.

So, You can just do 180 - (70+70)

Algebra version:

70 + 70 + x = 180

140 + x = 180 (subtract 140 on both sides)

x = 40

hope this helps :)

Answer 2

40°

Explanation:

The given triangle is a isosceles triangle . And we know that in a isosceles triangle opposite angles are equal . Therefore ,

> x + 70° + 70° = 180°

> x + 140° = 180°

> x = 180° - 140°

> x = 40°
