Question

Find the value of x in the triangle shown below.
x=

Answer 1

x = 56°

Explanation:

The triangle given has two equal sides, therefore, it is an isosceles triangle. And isosceles triangle has two equal base angles which are opposite to each of the equal sides.

Therefore:

2(62°) + x = 180° (sum of triangle)

Solve for x

124° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 124°

x = 56°
