Question

What is the value of x?

Answer 1

Answer:

  x = 71

Step-by-step explanation:

The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.

  x° +x° +38° = 180°

  2x = 142 . . . . . . . . divide by °, subtract 38

  x = 71 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

Let the given triangle be ∆ABC and let B and C be the base of triangle. As per the property we know that the bases of isosceles triangle are congruent or equal.

Also, sum of all angles in triangle is 180°.

By further simplification we get,

$:\implies\tt{x + x + 38 = 180}$

$:\implies\tt{2x + 38 = 180}$

$:\implies\tt{2x = 180 - 38}$

$:\implies\tt{2x = 142}$

$:\implies\tt{x = \frac{142}{2} }$

$:\implies\tt{x = 71}$

• The value of x is 71°.
