    Question

    In an isosceles triangle, the vertex angle is four times the sum of the base angles. The measure of the square root of the vertex angle is:

    A.

    16°

    B.

    18°

    C.

    10°

    D.

    12°

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    In isosceles triangle, vertex angle is four times the sum of base angles.
    Formula Used:
    Angle sum property of a triangle = 180°180^°​​
    Solution:
    As per the property of isosceles triangle, two of the sides will be same.
    So, let the base angles be x and x.
    Vertex angle = 4 × Sum of base angles
    Vertex angle = 4 × (x + x) = 8x
    As per angle sum property of a triangle,
    8x + x + x = 180°
    10x = 180°
    x = 180/10=18°​​
    Vertex angle = 8x = 8 × 18°​ = 144°
    Square root of vertex angle = √144=12°​​
