\quad \huge \quad \quad \boxed{ \tt \:Answer }


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:Base \:\: Angle=3x = 45°

____________________________________


\large \tt Solution \: :

Property of Triangle : sum of all interior angles of a triangle is 180°


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 5x + 15 + 3x + 3x = 180


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 5x + 3x + 3x + 15 = 180


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: 11x = 180 - 15


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \:11 x = 165


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x = 165 / 11


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: x = 15

Value of x is 15°, base angle is 3x :


\qquad \tt \rightarrow \: base \: \: angle = 3x = 3 * 15 = 45 \degree

Answer:

45°

Explanation:

Given:

  • Angles are (5x+15)°, 3x° and 3x°.

To Find:

  • Measure of base angle.

Concept used:

  • Sum of all interior angles in a triangle is equal to 180° .

Using the above concept, we have

5x + 15 + 3x + 3x = 180

11x = 165

x = 165/11

x = 15

So, 3x = 3*15 = 45°

So, the measure of base angle is 45°
