Problema Solution
the flag of a country contains an isosceles triangle. if the measure of the third angle of the triangle is 15 degrees more than three times the measure of either of the other two angles
Answer provided by our tutors
We will find the measures of the angles of this isosceles triangle.
x = the measure of each of the two equal angles
3x + 15 = the measure of the third angle
2x + 3x + 15 = 180

........
x = 33 degrees
3x + 15 = 3*33 + 15 = 114 degrees
The measures of the angles are 33 degrees and 114 degrees.
