Two angles of a triangle are equal and the third angle measures 70°. What is the measure of each of the unknown angles? |
75° 45° 65° 55° |
55° |
Let the measure of each unknown angle be \({a}^\circ\). We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle is \({180}^\circ\). Therefore, a + a + 70 = \({180}^\circ\) = 2a = (\({180}^\circ\) - \({70}^\circ\)) = 2a = \({110}^\circ\) = a = \({55}^\circ\) Therefore, a is \({55}^\circ\). |
