Solution

To find the measures of the other two angles in an isosceles triangle with one angle measuring 106.8 106.8^\circ , we'll follow these steps:

1. Break Down the Problem

  • In an isosceles triangle, two angles are equal.
  • The sum of the angles in any triangle is 180 180^\circ .

2. Relevant Concepts

  • Let's denote the angles of the triangle as A A , B B , and C C .
  • Given that one angle is A=106.8 A = 106.8^\circ , we need to find the measures for the other two angles B B and C C .

3. Analysis and Detail

  • If A A is the unique angle, then the two equal angles B B and C C would be: B=C B = C Using the sum of angles in triangle: A+B+C=180 A + B + C = 180^\circ Substituting A=106.8 A = 106.8^\circ : 106.8+B+B=180 106.8^\circ + B + B = 180^\circ Simplifying gives: 106.8+2B=180 106.8^\circ + 2B = 180^\circ 2B=180106.8 2B = 180^\circ - 106.8^\circ 2B=73.2 2B = 73.2^\circ B=73.22=36.6 B = \frac{73.2^\circ}{2} = 36.6^\circ

  • If A A is one of the equal angles, then: A=B=106.8 A = B = 106.8^\circ and using the sum of angles: 106.8+106.8+C=180 106.8^\circ + 106.8^\circ + C = 180^\circ 2×106.8+C=180 2 \times 106.8^\circ + C = 180^\circ C=180213.6 C = 180^\circ - 213.6^\circ This results in C C being negative, which is not possible.

4. Verify and Summarize

The only valid scenario occurs when A=106.8 A = 106.8^\circ is the unique angle. The measures of the other two angles are both 36.6 36.6^\circ .

Final Answer

The possible measures for the other two angles are:

  • 36.6 36.6^\circ and 36.6 36.6^\circ (both angles).
