Calculate the size of angle 𝑥. Calculate the size of angle 𝑥. Calculate the size of angles 𝑥 and 𝑦.

36 + 90 = 126 180 − 48 = 132

36 180 − 126 = 54 𝐼𝑠𝑜𝑠𝑐𝑒𝑙𝑒𝑠 𝑇𝑟𝑖𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑙𝑒
48𝑜 𝑥
132 ÷ 2 = 66𝑜
So 𝑥 = 54𝑜 So 𝑥 = 66𝑜

47 + 75 = 122
𝑥 72𝑜 72 + 72 = 144 180 − 112 = 68𝑜

180 − 144 = 36𝑜 𝑆𝑜 𝑥 = 68𝑜
So 𝑥 = 58𝑜
47 𝑜 75 𝑜 So 𝑥 = 36𝑜 68 + 68 = 136
𝑥 180 − 136 = 44
𝑆𝑜 𝑦 = 44𝑜
