Question 16 • * FL-1206310-Geometry Sem 1

If isosceles triangle ABC has a 130° angle at vertex B, which statement must be true?

Answer
A
m∠A = 15° and m∠C = 35°
B
m∠A + m∠B = 155°
C
m∠A + m∠C = 60°
D
m∠A = 20° and m∠C = 30°

Explanation

The angles in a triangle add to 180°, so ∠A + ∠C = 180° − 130° = 50°. Since the triangle is isosceles and neither ∠A nor ∠C can be 130°, those two angles must be equal, making each 25°. Therefore, m∠A + m∠B = 25° + 130° = 155°, so the statement that must be true is “m∠A + m∠B = 155°.”
