The measures of the angles of the isosceles triangle are 55, 55 and 70.

Explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two congruent base angles and a vertex angle.

Let b =the measure of one of the base angles.

Let v = the measure of the the vertex angle.

The vertex angle is 40 degrees less than the sum of the base angles.

v = b + b − 40 = 2 b − 40

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180.

b + b + v = 180

Substitute 2 b − 40 for v .

b + b + 2 b − 40 = 180

4 b − 40 = 180

+40+40

Combine like terms.

Add 40 to both sides.

4b=220

Divide by 4

4 b/4 = 220 /4

b = 55

v = 2 b − 40

v = 2 ( 55 ) − 40 = 70

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The answer is a unique triangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

9+7=16, 16 is less than 18.

If two sides are added up and equal or are less than the third side, they are a unique triangle.

Which graph represent the solution to the given systems y=-x +4 y=1/3x + 8
Furkat [3]
Use substitution

-x + 4 = 1/3x + 8
4 = 4/3x + 8
-4 = 4/3x
x = -4 * 3/4
x = -3

Then plug x into one of the original equations. In this case y = -x + 4 is the easiest.

y = -(-3) + 4
y = 7
