Answer:

Explanation:

A) WX=YX

angle w =angle Y=70

X=180-2x70= 40

B) all sides are equal. Angle V=T=U=180/3=60

(a) the given triangle is a isosceles triangle. The two base (non-congruent side) angles (in this case, ∠XYW & ∠XWY) will have the same measurements.

It is given that m∠XYW = 70°, therefore, m∠XWY is also 70°.

Subtract 180 from the two 70° to get m∠X:

180 - (70 + 70) = 180 - 140 = 40°

m∠X = 40° is your answer.

The given triangle is a equilateral triangle (All sides are congruent). If all sides are congruent, it is a equilateral triangle, and if it is a equilateral triangle, then all measurements of the inside angles are the same, 60°

m∠V = 60°
