Answer:
(a) = 60
(b) = 70
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) Sum of all the angles of a triangle is 180
This is an equilateral Triangle
which means all the sides are equal since all the sides are equal that means all the angles are equal
[tex]x + x + x = 180 \\ 3x = 180 \\ x = \frac{180}{3} \\ x = 60[/tex]
(b) this is an isosceles triangle with two equal sides that means the two opposite angles are equal
[tex]40 + x + x = 180 \\ 40 + 2x = 180 \\ 2x = 180 - 40 \\ 2x = 140 \\ x = 70[/tex]
