What is the measure of angle r in triangle RST?

Sagot :

The measure of angle R in triangle RST is 40°.

Given that triangle RST is isosceles triangle,

that means two of its angles are equal.

Also the measure of angle T is 100°

since no other angle can be equal to 100° because in this case the sum of the angles will be more than 180°

so the other two angles R and S are equal.

⇒ ∠R + ∠S + ∠T = 180°

   ∠R + ∠R + 100° = 180°

                    2∠R  = 180 - 100

                      ∠R  = [tex]\frac{80}{2}[/tex]

                      ∠R = 40°.

Therefore measure of angle R in triangle RST is 40°.

An Isosceles triangle is a triangle that has any two sides equal in length and angles opposite to equal sides are equal in measure. An Isosceles triangle is a triangle which has two congruent sides. And in isosceles triangle if the two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angle opposite to them are also congruent.

Given question is incomplete. Complete question is:
