Answer:

3 = 21 degrees

5 = 21 degrees

1 = 60 degrees

2 = 39 degrees

4 = 39 degrees

Explanation:

This problem is really quite easy once you break it down. I assume you want an answer based on the attachment. If a triangle is Isosceles, then its bottom two angles are congruent, so angle 3 = angle 5.

Then, 138 degrees + x * 2 = 180 degrees.

x * 2 = 42 degrees

x = 21 degrees

So 3 and 5 are each 21 degrees

If a triangle is equilateral, then it is also equiangular, meaning each of its angles are equal to each other, and they are each 60 degrees. Then, we know angle 1 is 60 degrees. For 2 and 4, we want to take the measure of the combination of 2 and 3 (the full 60 degrees), and subtract it by the measure of angle 3 to get the measure of angle 2. 60 - 21 = 39 degrees. Angle 2 is 39 degrees. The same can be done with angle 5 and 4 because they are the same measurements.
