Step-by-step explanation:
Since AB = BC the the triangle is isosceles and thus
∠ A = ∠ C = 8x
The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°
Sum the 3 angles and equate to 180
44x + 8x + 8x = 180, that is
60x = 180 ( divide both sides by 60 )
x = 3
Thus
∠ A = ∠ C = 8x = 8(3) = 24°
∠ B = 44x = 44(3) = 132°
How I was taught: Make sure both numbers are a fraction. If not put "1" as the denominator. Multiply straight across. Simplify if you can.
