If you know the measure of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle, how do you find out the measure of the base angles?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An isosceles triangle has 2 sides that are the same length.  Let's say that our triangle has the 2 sides measuring the same and the base is a different length.  The vertex angle is the top angle.  By the definition of an isosceles triangle, since the 2 sides measure the same length, then the angles across from those sides have the same degree measure.  If we know the measure of the vertex angle, then we have

180 = vertex angle - base angle - base angle

but since the base angles are the same and we have 2 of them, then

180 = vertex angle - 2 base angles

For example, if the vertex angle measures 80 degrees, then 180 - 80 = 100.  That 100 has to be split in half for each of the base angles which are the same as each other.  So the vertex angle is 80 and each base is 50.

Miko and Raj get the same salary. Every month Miko saves
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The salaries are the same. Only the fraction of how much is saved is quite different.

Equation

x ( 9/11 - 7/9) = 1584

Explanation: The salary amount is x. The fractional amounts saved are also given. You have to take the difference because one of the people saves more than the other.

The amount that is more is 1584.

Solution

9/11 = 0.8182

7/9 = 0.7778

9/11 - 7/9 = 0.8182 - 0.7778 = 0.0404

Put that into the equation.

x(0.0404) = 1584                     Divide by 0.0404)

x(0.0404) = 1584/0.0404        

answer:x = 39204
