In an isosceles △LMN, LM=LN, and ∠MLN=37
∘
. Find ∠MNL.
- A70.0
∘ - B71.5
∘ - C60.5
∘ - D65.0
∘
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
In △LMN, it is given that LM=LN.
Therefore, the angles opposite to these sides must be equal:
Filo
∠LMN=∠MNL
We know that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180
∘
:
∠MLN+∠LMN+∠MNL=180
∘
Substitute ∠MLN=37
∘
and ∠LMN=∠MNL:
37
∘
+2∠MNL=180
∘
2∠MNL=180
