Answer: " Yes; Kim is correct."
Explanation: [refer to the end of this "answer"].
Note: Any "triangle" has 3 sides and 3 angles.
An isosceles triangle has 2 (angles) with the exact same measurements.
We are given the following information:
We have an isosceles angle:
with one of the angles = 48°
_______
Does this mean that one of the angles must be: 66 ° ?
If so; then: either:
48 + 66 + 48 = 180 ?
or: 48 + 66 + 66 = 180 ?
1) First: Start with 48 + 66 + 48 ≟ 180 ?
(48 + 66 + 48) ≟ 180 ? ; 162 ≟ 180? No; " 162 < 180 " .
2) Second: Try: "48 + 66 + 66 = 180 " .
(48 + 66 + 66) ≟ 180 ? ; 180 ≟ 180 ? ; Yes! "180 = 180".
_______
So: Kim is correct; because isosceles triangles must have angles with 2 (two) equal measurements. Note that all triangles have angles that add up to 180° .
So: As shown above:
If one angle of the triangle is 48°; then: **each** of the other angle measurements must be 66°.
So: Yes; Kim is correct when he says that one of the other angles must be 66°.
(48 + 66 + 48) ≟ 180 ? ; 162 ≟. 180? No; " 162 < 180 " .
