Consider the triangle below Determine the angle measure for angle A and angle M in order for triangle GAM to be classified as an isosceles triangle class=

Respuesta :

Given :

▪︎Measure of ∠G = 64°

▪︎△GAM is an isosceles triangle.

We know that :

▪︎The opposite base angles of an isosceles triangle are always equal.

Let the measure of ∠A be x.

Then, the measure of ∠M will also be x.

Which means :

[tex] = \tt64 + x + x = 180[/tex]

[tex] = \tt64 + 2x = 180[/tex]

[tex] = \tt2x = 180 - 64[/tex]

[tex] =\tt 2x = 116[/tex]

[tex] =\tt x = \frac{116}{2} [/tex]

[tex] = \tt \: x = 58[/tex]

Since the sum of all these angles is equivalent to 180°[64+58+58=180], we can conclude that we have found out the correct measure of each of these angles.

▪︎Therefore :

Measure of ∠A = 58°

Measure of ∠M = 58°
