Question

riangle JKL is isosceles. The measure of angle J is 72° and the measure of angle K is 36°. Which statement describes angle L? Angle L is a base angle and measures 36°. Angle L is a base angle and measures 72°. Angle L is a vertex angle and measures 36°. Angle L is a vertex angle and measures 72°.

Answer 1

Answer:

Angle L is a base angle and measures 72°.

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle JKL is isosceles.

The measure of angle J is 72°

The measure of angle K is 36°

Angles in a trinagle add up to 180° so angle L is;

180° - (36° + 72°) = 72°

An isosceles triangle means that two of its sides are equal and two base angles are equal. So base  angles are angles J and L and measures 72° each.
