Question: 4

If a base angle of an isosceles triangle is represented by x°, represent the number of degrees in the vertex angle.
  • 180 – x
  • x – 180
  • 2x – 180
  • 180 – 2x
  • 90 – 2x

  Show/Hide Explanation 

Correct Answer: D

The other base angle is also x. These two base angles add to 2x. The remaining degrees of the triangle, or 180 – 2x, are in the vertex angle.
