Answer:
55
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is an isosceles triangle, the angles at the bases of the identical legs must be equal
<A = <C
3x+40 =x+50
Subtract x from each side
3x-x+40 = x+50-x
2x +40 = 50
Subtract 40 from each side
2x+40-40=50-40
2x = 10
Divide each side by 2
2x/2=10/2
x = 5
We want to find <A
3x+40
3(5)+40
15+40
