Question

If ABC is an isosceles triangle and DBE is an equilateral triangle find each missing measure

Answer 1

Answer:

∠1=∠9=43°,  ∠2=∠7= 17°,  ∠4=∠5=∠6=60°, ∠3=∠8=120°

Step-by-step explanation:

Given ABC is an isosceles triangle and DBE is an equilateral triangle. we have to find each missing measure.

In triangle ABC,

∠1=∠9    (∵isosceles triangle)

⇒ 4x+3=9x-47

⇒ 9x-4x=3+47 ⇒ 5x=50 ⇒ x=10

Hence, ∠9=∠1=(4x+3)°=4(10)+3=43°

Also, given ΔBDE is an equilateral triangle, and all angle of equilateral triangle are equal.

∴ ∠4+∠5+∠6=180°

⇒ ∠4+∠4+∠4=180° ⇒ 3∠4 = 180° ⇒ ∠4 = 60°

∴ ∠4=∠5=∠6=60°

By exterior angle property, ∠3=∠5+∠6=60°+60°=120°

                                             ∠8=∠5+∠4=60°+60°=120°

In ΔABD, ∠1+∠2+∠3=180°

             ⇒ 43°+120°+∠2=180°⇒ ∠2 = 17°

In ΔABD, ∠9+∠8+∠7=180°

             ⇒ 43°+120°+∠7=180°⇒ ∠7= 17°
