Question

Can anyone answer this?

Answer 1

`\boxed{x=78}`

Explanation:

The triangle is an isosceles triangle.

The two base angles are equal.

Angles in a triangle add up to 180 degrees.

x + x + 24 = 180

Combine like terms.

2x + 24 = 180

Subtract 24 on both sides.

2x = 156

Divide both sides by 2.

x = 78

Answer 2

Because the triangle is isosceles, the base angles are congruent. Since the sum of angles in a triangle is 180° we can write:

24 + x + x = 180

24 + 2x = 180

2x = 156

x = 78°
