Question

Suppose that MNO is isosceles with base NM. Suppose also that =m∠N+4x7° and =m∠M+2x29°. Find the degree measure of each angle in the triangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

m∠N = 51°

m∠M = 31°

m∠O = 98°

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that ΔMNO is an isosceles triangle with base NM.

m∠N = (4x + 7)° and m∠M = (2x + 29)°

By the property of an isosceles triangle,

Two legs of an isosceles triangle are equal in measure.

ON ≅ OM

And angles opposite to these equal sides measure the same.

m∠N = m∠M

(4x + 7) = (2x + 29)

4x - 2x = 29 - 7

2x = 22

x = 11

m∠N = (4x + 7)° = 51°

m∠M = (2x + 9)° = 31°

m∠O = 180° - (m∠N + m∠M)

         = 180° - (51° + 31°)

         = 180° - 82°

         = 98°
