Answer:

78°

Explanation:

You want the measure of base angle x in an isosceles triangle with a.pex angle 24°.

Base angle

The two base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. The sum of all angles is 180°, so we have ...

24° +2x = 180°

12° +x = 90° . . . . . . divide by 2

x = 78° . . . . . . . subtract 12°

The measure of angle x is 78°.
