Question

1

Use the properties of an Isosceles Triangle to solve for x and y.
AJKL is an isosceles triangle. Find the values of x and y

Answer 1

x = 3

y = 11

Explanation:

isosceles triangle

solve for x:

JK = KL

8x = 13x - 15

15 = 13x - 8x

15 = 5x

x = 3

solve for y:

180 = 76 + 2(5y - 3)

180 - 76 = 10y - 6

10y = 110

y = 11
