To find: measure of each angle of an isosceles
Answer to Problem 28WE
The measure of each angle is
Explanation of Solution
Given Information: The ratio between angles of an isosceles triangle is 3:3:2.
Formula Used:
The sum of angles of a triangle is 1800
Calculation:
Since ratio of the angles is always in the simplified form, it might not represent the actual measure. So, considering the angles as 3x, 3x and 2x, the sum of the angles of the triangle can be expressed using the above relation as,
So each of the angles are given by,
Thus, the angles of the isosceles triangle are
