Question

An isosceles triangle has base angles that each measure 42°. Which equation can be used to find z, the measure of the third angle of this isosceles triangle in degrees? \

Answer 1

Answer:

42 + 42 + z = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that:

Base angles in an isosceles triangle are equal in measure.

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°.

Thus, the equation would be

42 + 42 + z = 180
