Find the measure of the indicated angle

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

x = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is isosceles. The markings tell us that.

The 76 is not opposite either one of the equal sides. Let the angle values opposite the equal sides be x

x + x + 76 = 180 All triangles = 180

2x + 76 = 180 Subtract 76 from both sides.

2x = 180 - 76

2x = 104 Divide both sides by 2

x = 104/2

x = 52

So x = 52

How do you know when a situation involves a percent increase or a percent decrease?

Sauron [17]

Answer:

1. Subtract starting value minus final value.

2.divide that amount by the absolute value of the starting value.

3. Multiplt by 100 to get a percent decrease.

4. if the percentage is negative, it means there was an increase and not an decrease
