Answer: 42 degrees

Step-by-step explanation: Since this is an isosceles triangle, your remaining two angles will be equal

There are 180 degrees in any triangle

Since you have already used 96 degrees, you must subtract to find what is remaining

180-96=84

Since your remaining two angles are equal, you can half 84 to find your answer

84/2=42

Both x and your one remaining angle should be 42

X=42

Answer:

x=42°

Explanation:

We know that 2 of the legs are congruent, so the angles opposite them will be congruent.

The angles of a triangle add up to 180°

This can be represented by
96+2x=180


2x=84


x=42

Hope this helps :-)
