Asked by LILA

Jamie says that if she knows only the measure of one angle in an isosceles triangle, she can always determine the measures of the other two angles. Denise disagrees with her.
Whos correct jamie or denise? Explain why.

Since the two base angles are equal, if one of them equals x, then
one other is x, and the 3rd is (180-2x)/2

If x is the vertex angle, then the two base angles are each (180-x)/2

but whos right tho
Answered by oobleck
they are both right. Which answer you use depends on which angle you know. The posting did not specify that.

Jamie is in fact correct. No matter which angle she knows, she can always find the other angles.
