is isosceles with base . Points and are respectively in and and such that . The number of degrees in is:
(A)
(B)
(C)
(D)
Solution
Let be the measure of . is an isosceles triangle, so and . is a line, so . Since is isosceles as well, and . is a line, so . Since is isosceles as well, . is also isosceles, so , so . The angles in a triangle add up to degrees, so . Solving the equation yields . Thus, , so the answer is .
Final answer
A
