Step-by-Step Solution

As we know that triangle ABC is isosceles.

B=C=2X B=C=2X

It is known that in a triangle the sum of the angles is 180.

Therefore, we can calculate in the following way:

2X+2X+4X=180 2X+2X+4X=180

4X+4X=180 4X+4X=180

8X=180 8X=180

We divide the two sections by 8:

8X8=1808 \frac{8X}{8}=\frac{180}{8}

X=22.5 X=22.5

Answer

22.5
