One angle of an isosceles obtuse triangle is 2812\frac{1}{2}°. Find measure of its obtuse angle in degree.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. 123°.

Let the measure of the obtuse angle of the triangle be x°.

Given, triangle is an isosceles triangle then the angles other than obtuse angle will be equal to (57/2)° each.

Sum of all angles of a triangle = 180°

⇒ (57/2)° + 57/2)° + x° = 180°

⇒ x = 180° - 57°

⇒ x = 123°
