Question
suppose △ bug is an isosceles triangle. find the measure of ∠ b.
Step1: Recall angle - sum property of a triangle
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°. In an isosceles triangle △BUG, ∠B=(x + 10)°, ∠U = (3x)°, and ∠G=∠B=(x + 10)° (since the base - angles of an isosceles triangle are equal). So, (x + 10)+(3x)+(x + 10)=180.
Step2: Simplify the equation
Combine like - terms: 5x+20 = 180.
Step3: Solve for x
Subtract 20 from both sides: 5x=180 - 20=160. Then divide both sides by 5: x = $\frac{160}{5}$=32.
Step4: Find the measure of ∠B
Substitute x = 32 into the expression for ∠B. ∠B=(x + 10)°. So, ∠B=(32 + 10)°=42°.
