Find the value of x in the triangle shown below

Answer:
x = 55
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 2 sides of the triangle are congruent, both 5, then the triangle is isosceles and the 2 base angles are congruent, both x , then
x + x + 70 = 180 ← sum of 3 angles = 180°
2x + 70 = 180 ( subtract 70 from both sides )
2x = 110 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 55
Answer:
55.52
Step-by-step explanation:
By sine rule:
[tex] \frac{ \sin x \degree}{5} = \frac{ \sin 70 \degree}{5.7} \\ \\ \sin x \degree = \frac{ 5 \: \sin 70 \degree}{5.7} \\ \\ \sin x \degree = \frac{ 5 \: \sin 70 \degree}{5.7} \\ \\ x \degree = {sin}^{ - 1} ( \frac{ 5 \: \sin 70 \degree}{5.7}) \\ \\ x \degree = 55.516753493 \degree\\ \\ x = 55.52[/tex]
