LMN is isosceles, with ML and m angle L = 36 deg What are the measures of angles M and N?
Since LMN is an isosceles triangle, angles M and N must be congruent.
Let's call the measure of angle M x.
Therefore, the measure of angle N is also x.
We know that the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
So, we have the equation: 36 + x + x = 180
Combining like terms, we get: 36 + 2x = 180
Subtracting 36 from both sides, we get: 2x = 144
Then, dividing by 2, we get: x = 72
Therefore, angle M measures 72 degrees and angle N also measures 72 degrees.
thats wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's correct it.
Since LMN is an isosceles triangle, angles M and N must be congruent.
Let's call the measure of angle M and angle N as x.
According to the given condition, angle L is equal to 36 degrees.
The sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
So, we have the equation: angle L + angle M + angle N = 180
Substituting the values, we get: 36 + x + x = 180
Simplifying the equation, we have: 36 + 2x = 180
Subtracting 36 from both sides, we get: 2x = 144
Dividing by 2, we have: x = 72
Therefore, both angle M and angle N measure 72 degrees.
wrong
Apologies for the confusion. Let's solve the problem correctly.

Dividing by 2, we have: x = 144/2 = 72
Therefore, both angle M and angle N measure 72 degrees.
none of them are 72
Apologies once again. I made an error in my previous responses. Let's solve the problem correctly this time.
Given:
LMN is an isosceles triangle.
Angle L is 36 degrees.
Since LMN is isosceles, angles M and N are congruent. Let's call their measure x.
The sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees.
So, we have the equation: angle L + angle M + angle N = 180
Substituting the values, we get: 36 + x + x = 180
Simplifying the equation, we have: 36 + 2x = 180
Subtracting 36 from both sides, we get: 2x = 180 - 36 = 144
Dividing by 2, we have: x = 144/2 = 72
Therefore, angle M measures 72 degrees and angle N also measures 72 degrees.
