Answer:

  • x = 70°

Explanation:

Given is the isosceles triangle as two sides marked equal.

The missing angles measure the same.

Since the sum of interior angles of a triangle is 180°, we have:

  • 40° + 2x = 180°
  • 2x = 140°
  • x = 70°

It is an isosceles triangle,

The marked 2 sides of triangle are equal.

Now we have to,

find the measure of indicated angle.

General formula,

→ Sum of all sides of triangle = 180°

Then the value of x is,

→ 2x + 40° = 180°

→ 2x = 140°

→ x = 140/2

→ x = 70°

Therefore, 70° is the value of x.
