The triangle is an isosceles triangle as shown with the lines on the sides of the triangles. That means the unknown angle is 35 degrees since angle Q cannot be 35 degrees. Solve the equation:
The triangle in the picture is an isosceles triangle, that means two of the sides are equal. An isosceles triangle has two equal sides, therefore it also has two equal angles. That means that side QR is equal to QP, which also means that point P and point R have equal angles. We know that the angles in a triangle must always add up to 180°. We already know the information for angle R and angle P so we can add those together, this gets us 70°. We can now build an equation with the information we have: 2x + 10 + 70 = 180. Solve the equation and you’ll have your final product, x = 50.
A square will have the same length and width and area= length times width. its set up in a 4x4 square because there are 16 squares total; 4 across and 4 down. if the sides are 4 miles each then one whole side will be 16 miles. so the equation is 16 times 16 which equals 256. so the answer is 256 square miles.
