Explain why triangle pqs is isosceles

Mathematics

Answer    

By using the exterior angle property

The measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of two opposite interior angles.  

In ∠QSR is exterior angle.

∠SPQ and ∠SQP are the opposite  interior angle of the exterior angle ∠QSR .

Thus

∠QSR  =  ∠SPQ + ∠SQP

As given in the diagram

∠QSR  =  2x  , ∠SQP = x

Put in the above

2x = x + ∠SQP

∠SQP = 2x - x

∠SQP = x

Thus

∠SPQ =  ∠SQP = x

By using the property

if two angles are equal in a triangle than their opposite sides are also equal .

Thus

PS = SQ

Two sides of triangle are equal .

therefore Δ PQS is a isosceles triangle .

Inga [223]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If one angle = 90 degrees, then the other 2 added together must also = 90.

There is only 1 answer to this, since the triangle is isosceles..

x + x = 90        Combine

2x = 90            Divide by 2

x = 90/2          

x = 45

So both acute angles = 45 degrees.

solong [7]

Answer:

Angle A = 53

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles add up to 180 so...

Lets use x to describe angle A

100+27+x=180

127+x=180

x=53

I'm confused what its asking about b and c but hope this helps a bit :)

Simplify. 4−16÷4+42 −16 13 15 16
Dimas [21]

Answer:

[See Below]

Step-by-step explanation:

✦ First split the equation in little pieces and solve them:

  ✧ 4 - 16 = -12

  ✧ 4 + 4² = 20 (4² = 16)

✦ Now divide them:

  ✧ -12 ÷ 20 = -0.6

So I'm guessing you're trying to simplify 4²... so it'd be 16 because none of the choices are the simplified version of the problem.
