Look for an isosceles triangle.
24^(∘)
There are several things we can see by investigating the given figure.
The second observation will help us find the measure of ∠ 1 and ∠ 2 together. Using the given measure, m∠ 5=66^(∘), the first observation will help us find the measure of ∠ 1.
According to the Isosceles Triangle Theorem, angles ∠ 5 and ∠ 1 are congruent, and hence have the same measure. Since the measure of ∠ 5 is given, this tells us the measure of ∠ 1. m∠ 1=m∠ 5 m∠ 5=66^(∘) ⟹ m∠ 1=66^(∘) The measure of ∠ 1 is 66^(∘).
Let's concentrate now on the large triangle.
