In the figure, m<2 = 44. What is the measure of <1?

m∠1 = 112°

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve for m∠1, we need to find the supplementary angle and subtract from 180°.  We also know that m∠2 = 44° and the remaining two angles inside the triangle are the same because of the congruent sides, let's call each angle x.

Therefore m∠2 + x + x = 180; combine x's

m∠2 + 2x = 180; substitute m∠2 = 44°

44 + 2x = 180; subtract 44 from both sides

2x = 136; divide by 2

x = 68°

Therefore using the supplementary angle

x + m∠1 = 180 (because it is supplementary)

68 + m∠1 = 180; subtract 68 from both sides

m∠1 = 112°
