Answer:

55

Explanation:

Since this is an isosceles triangle, the angles at the bases of the identical legs must be equal

<A = <C

3x+40 =x+50

Subtract x from each side

3x-x+40 = x+50-x

2x +40 = 50

Subtract 40 from each side

2x+40-40=50-40

2x = 10

Divide each side by 2

2x/2=10/2

x = 5

We want to find <A

3x+40

3(5)+40

15+40
