Question

In an isosceles triangle, the vertex angle measures 76°. What is the measure of each ofthe base angles?

A.

32° and 49°

B.

55° and 49°

C.

52° and 52°

D.

43° and 62°

Correct option is C

Given:

The vertex angle of the isosceles triangle = 76°

Formula Used:

In an isosceles triangle, the sum of the base angles and the vertex angle is 180°.

If the vertex angle is θ, then the base angles (each of them x) can be found using the formula:

2x + θ = 180°

Solution:

The vertex angle = 76°

Substitute this into the equation:

2x + 76° = 180°

2x = 180° - 76° = 104°

x = 104° / 2 = 52°

Each equal angle = 52°
