Some isosceles triangles are drawn below. In each, one angle is given. Find the other angles.

In first figure,
As seen it seems AB = BC (since it is a isosceles triangle).
Also, if 2 sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite equal sides are also equal.
∴ ∠BAC(∠A) = ∠BCA(∠C) = 30°
In a triangle,
Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
Hence, in Δ ABC,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
∴ 30 + ∠B + 30 = 180°
∠B + 60 = 180°
∴ ∠B = 180-60
= 120°
In second figure,
As seen it seems DE = DF (since it is a isosceles triangle).
Also, if 2 sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite equal sides are also equal.
∴ ∠DEF(∠E) = ∠DFE(∠F) = y° …(eq)1
In a triangle,
Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
Hence, in Δ DEF,
∠D + ∠E + ∠F = 180°
∴ 40 + y + y = 180°
∴ 40 + 2y = 180
∴ 2y = 180-40
= 140°
∴ ![]()
Hence, ∠E = ∠F = 70° (from eq1)
In 3rd figure,
As seen it seems PQ = PR (since it is a isosceles triangle).
Also, if 2 sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite equal sides are also equal.
∴ ∠PQR(∠Q) = ∠PRQ(∠R) = y° …(eq)1
In a triangle,
Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
Hence, in Δ PQR,
∠P + ∠Q + ∠R = 180°
∴ 20 + y + y = 180°
∴ 20 + 2y = 180
∴ 2y = 180-20
= 160°
∴ ![]()
Hence, ∠Q = ∠R = 80° (from eq1)
In 4th figure,
As seen it seems XY = XZ (since it is a isosceles triangle).
Also, if 2 sides of a triangle are equal, the angles opposite equal sides are also equal.
∴ ∠XYZ(∠Y) = ∠XZY(∠Z) = m° …(eq)1
In a triangle,
Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
Hence, in Δ XYZ,
∠X + ∠Y + ∠Z = 180°
∴ 100 + m + m = 180°
∴ 100 + 2m = 180
∴ 2m = 180-100
= 80
∴ ![]()
Hence, ∠Y = ∠Z = 40° (from eq1)
