In an isosceles triangle, if the verte...

In an isosceles triangle, if the vertex angle is twice the sum of the base angles, calculate the angles of the triangle.
Let each base angle be x in an isosceles `/_\ABC`
Then vertex angle be `2(x+x)=4x`
Since sum of angles of a triangle is `180^0`
Hence,`4x+x+x=180^0`
`6x=180^0`
`=>x=30^0`
Angles are `30^0,30^0,120^0`

To solve the problem step by step, we can follow this approach: ### Step 1: Define the angles Let each base angle of the isosceles triangle be represented as \( x \). Since it is an isosceles triangle, the two base angles are equal. ### Step 2: Express the vertex angle According to the problem, the vertex angle (let's call it angle \( A \)) is twice the sum of the base angles. Since there are two base angles, we can express this as: \[ ...
