📐 Isosceles Triangle | One angle is given
Find the measures of the other two angles
🔷 Isosceles Triangle ABC (AB = AC)
📐 Given: ∠A = 120°
❓ Find ∠B and ∠C
✍️ Step-by-Step: Find the other two angles
1 Isosceles Triangle Property
In an isosceles triangle with AB = AC, which angles are equal?
2 Angle Sum Property
What is the sum of all three angles in any triangle?
3 Let the unknown angles be x
Let ∠B = ∠C = x. Write the equation using the angle sum property.
4 Substitute the given angle
∠A = 120°. The equation becomes:
5 Simplify the equation
120 + 2x = 180 simplifies to:
6 Solve for x
2x = 60, therefore x = ?
7 Value of ∠B
∠B = ? degrees
8 Value of ∠C
∠C = ? degrees
9 Verification - Sum of angles
Check: 120° + 30° + 30° = ?
10 Final Conclusion
The other two angles are:
