Question

Find the value of x when m<2= 8x
​

Answer 1

x =10

Explanation:

this is isosceles Δ so it has base ∠ that are =

sum of angles in Δ is 180 so 180 -50-50 = 80

m<2= 80

80= 8x

x =10

Answer 2

x = 10

Explanation:

The base angles of an isosceles triangle measure the same

The three angles of the triangle and 50 , 50 and <2

They sum to 180 degrees

50 +50 + 8x = 180

Combine like terms

100+8x = 180

Subtract 100 from each side

100-100 +8x = 180 - 100

8x= 80

Divide by 8

8x/8 = 80/8

x = 10
