The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we can follow these instructions: ### Step 1: Define the Angles Let the two equal angles of the triangle be denoted as \( x \). Therefore, we have: - Angle 1 = \( x \) - Angle 2 = \( x \) ### Step 2: Define the Third Angle According to the problem, the third angle is greater than each of the equal angles by \( 18^\circ \). Thus, we can express the third angle as: - Angle 3 = \( x + 18^\circ \) ### Step 3: Use the Triangle Sum Property The sum of the angles in a triangle is always \( 180^\circ \). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ x + x + (x + 18) = 180 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the Equation Combine like terms: \[ 3x + 18 = 180 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) Subtract \( 18 \) from both sides: \[ 3x = 180 - 18 \] \[ 3x = 162 \] Now, divide both sides by \( 3 \): \[ x = \frac{162}{3} = 54 \] ### Step 6: Find the Angles Now that we have \( x \), we can find the three angles: - Angle 1 = \( x = 54^\circ \) - Angle 2 = \( x = 54^\circ \) - Angle 3 = \( x + 18 = 54 + 18 = 72^\circ \) ### Conclusion The angles of the triangle are: - \( 54^\circ, 54^\circ, \) and \( 72^\circ \). ---
