Answer:
The measure of side AC is 6 cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
The information for the triangle ABC are:
AB = 6 cm
m∠A = 80°
m∠B = 50°
The sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°.
Compute the value of m∠C as follows:
m∠A + m∠B + m∠C = 180°
m∠C = 180° - 80° - 50°
= 50°
Thus, the angles, m∠C = m∠B.
Consider the triangle below.
If two angles of a triangle are equal or similar then that triangle is known as an isosceles triangle.
And in an isosceles triangle the sides corresponding to the equal angles are equal.
Then in this case as m∠C = m∠B then sides AC = AB.
The measure of the side AC is 6 cm.
