We can use ratios to solve

150 miles 100 miles

---------------- = ---------------

2.5 hours x hours

Using cross products

150x = 2.5*100

divide each side by 150

150x/150 = 250/150

The vertex angle of an isosceles triangle measures 40°. What is the measure of a base angle?

Katena32 [7]

A triangle has three angles, and their measures add up to 180 degrees.
An isosceles triangle has at least 2 congruent sides, and the angles opposite the congruent sides are congruent.

This triangle has one angle of 40 deg, and two angles that measure the same; call the measure of each base angle x.

x + x + 40 = 180

2x + 40 = 180

2x = 140

x = 70

The base angles measure 70 deg.
