Acute / Obtuse Isosceles Triangles - High School Math

Because the interior angles of a triangle add up to 180°, we can create an equation using the variables given in the problem: x+2x+(3x+30)=180. This simplifies to 6X+30=180. When we subtract 30 from both sides, we get 6x=150. Then, when we divide both sides by 6, we get x=25. Because Angle B=2x degrees, we multiply 25 times 2. Thus, Angle B is equal to 50°. If you got an answer of 25, you may have forgotten to multiply by 2. If you got 105, you may have found Angle C instead of Angle B.

It's good to draw a diagram for this; we know that it's an isosceles triangle; remember that the angles of a triangle total 180 degrees.

Angle G for this triangle is the one angle that doesn't correspond to an equal side of the isosceles triangle (opposite side to the angle), so that means ∠F = ∠H, and that ∠F + ∠H + 40 = 180,

By substitution we find that ∠F * 2 = 140 and angle F = 70 degrees.

An isosceles triangle has two congruent base angles and one vertex angle. Each triangle contains . Let = base angle, so the equation becomes . Solving for gives

Every triangle has 180 degrees. An isosceles triangle has one vertex angle and two congruent base angles.

Let = the vertex angle

Every triangle has . An isosceles triangle has one vertex ange, and two congruent base angles.

Let be the vertex angle and be the base angle.

The equation to solve becomes , since the base angle occurs twice.

Now we can solve for the vertex angle.

The difference between the vertex angle and the base angle is .

This triangle has an angle of . We also know it has another angle of at because the two sides are equal. Adding those two angles together gives us total. Since a triangle has total, we subtract 130 from 180 and get 50.

A triangle has 180 degrees. An isoceles triangle has one vertex angle and two congruent base angles.

Let = vertex angle and = base angle

So the equation to solve becomes

So the equation to solve becomes .

We get and , so the sum of the base and vertex angles is .

In order for a triangle to be an isosceles triangle, it must contain two equivalent angles and one angle that is different. Given that one angle is greater than 100 degrees: Thus, the sum of the other two angles must be less than 80 degrees. If an angle is represented by :

All triangles have degrees. An isoceles triangle has one vertex angle and two congruent base angles.

Let vertex angle and base angle.

So the equation to solve becomes:

Add to both sides to get .

Divide both sides by to get vertex angle and base angles, so the sum of the angles is .

The answer is .

Since we know that the permieter is inches and one side is inches, it can be determined that the remaining two sides must combine to be inches. The ratio of the remaining two sides is which means 3 parts : 4 parts or 7 parts combined. We can then set up the equation , and divide both sides by which means . The ratio of the remaining side lengths then becomes or . We now know the 3 side lengths are .

is the shortest side and thus the answer.

Because this is an acute isosceles triangle, the third side must be the same as the longer of the sides that you were given. To find the perimeter, multiply the longer side by 2 and add the shorter side.
