Find x 62 x 54
Find x 4x x x
Find x 4x x x
Find x 4x x x
Isosceles triangle Two angles are the same Two sides are the same i.e. AC = BC
Find x x
Find x Reason: x = 72
1. Extend line AB to a point called R. • 2. Make BR equal in length to BP. • 3. Since AB+BP = AQ+QB, you can prove that AR=AC. • 4. Triangle BRP is an isosceles triangle with the big angle equal to 180 degrees —2 beta. • 5. Thus, angle BRP has to equal beta. • 6. If angle BRP=beta, then angle ACB also equals beta because line AP bisects angle A. • 7. Therefore the two halves of the chevron formed by points A, R, P, and C are identical. • 8. If angle C = beta and angle B=2 beta, then beta has to equal 40 degrees for the triangle ABC to add to 180 degrees.
Exterior angle equals the sum of the opposite interior angles.
