One angle of an isosceles triangle measures 96°. Which other angles could be in that isosceles triangle

Question

7th Grade Math Your Help Is Appreciated

Answer 1

Use the fact the sum of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

 

2x + 96 = 180 ..... the value of x should give you the other 2 equal angles of the triangle. (An isosceles triangle has two equal angles)

 

Please note that there is only one answer here as the other angle cannot be 96 degrees (because in this case the sum of angles exceeds 180 degrees )
