Question

If the base angles of an isosceles triangle each measure 37° then the vertex angle measures 106°

Answer 1

Answer:

the given statement is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

i) It is given that the base angles of an isosceles triangle each measure 37°.

ii) Adding the values of the base angles is = 37° + 37° = 74°

iii) from the property of triangles we know that the sum of all the angles in a triangle is equal to 180°

iv) let the vertex angle be = y°

v) Therefore we can say from ii), iii) and iv) above that

      74° + y° = 180°

vi) therefore the vertex angle y = 180° - 74° = 106°

Hence the given statement is true.
