Question

Andrea constructed a triangle. Angle 1 and 3 are the same size and angle 2 has a measurement of 70 degrees. What is the measurement of angle 1 and 3

Answer 1

Explanation:

By triangle sum theorem,

Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°.

m∠1 + m∠2 + m∠3 = 180°

(m∠1 + m∠3) + m∠2 = 180°

2(m∠1) + 70° = 180° {Given → m∠1 = m∠3]

2(m∠1) = 110°

m∠1 = 55°

Therefore, m∠1 = m∠3 = 55°
