Answer:
Angle C = 35
Explanation:
Angles A and B are already given to you, so I will not be explaining how to find them. If you have any questions, let me know.
There are 2 ways to solve this problem; you can either use the sum of the interior angles or isosceles triangles.
Sum of Interior Angles
The interior angles of all triangles equal 180 degrees. We can use this information to create an equation.
- First, set up the equation.
- Then, combine like terms.
- Next, subtract 145 from both sides
This means that angle C equals 35 degrees.
Isosceles Triangles
The image shows marks on 2 sides. These marks show that the sides are congruent. If a triangle has 2 congruent sides then it is isosceles. Isosceles always have 2 congruent angles as well. In addition, these congruent angles are always the angles opposite of the congruent sides.
In this case, the angles opposite of the congruent sides are angle A and angle C. Thus, angles A and C are congruent. If angle A is equal to 35, then angle C must also be 35.
