Question

Whats the measure of angle E ?

Answer 1

Answer:

57degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle is an isosceles triangle, hence m<D = m<E (base angles are equal)

Taking the sum of the angles and equating to 180

5x-4 + 4x+1 + 4x+1 = 180

5x+4x+4x-4+1+1 = 180

13x - 2 = 180

13x = 180 + 2

13x = 182

x =182/13

x = 14

Get m<E

m<E = 4x+ 1

m<E = 4(14)+ 1

m<E = 56+1

m<E = 57degrees

Hence the measure of m<E is 57degrees
