5. Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles
Sign In
Consider the Isosceles Triangle Theorem and use the Interior Angles Theorem.
m∠ABC=22^(∘)
In the previous exercise, we found that m∠ACB=136^(∘). We can also see that AC≅ BC by the markings.
Thus, â–³ ACB is isosceles. In this case, we should consider the Isosceles Triangle Theorem.
As we can see, ∠CAB ≅ ∠ABC which means that m∠CAB = m∠ABC. Using this equality, let's find m∠ABC by the Interior Angles Theorem.
m∠CAB= m∠ABC, m∠ACB= 136
Add terms
LHS-136=RHS-136
.LHS /2.=.RHS /2.
Thus, m∠ABC is 22^(∘).
