Tick marks show congruent sides. Use the diagram and the given information to answer each question.

How to solve

In an isosceles triangle the angles opposite the congruent sides (the base angles) are equal, so vertex angle + 2 × base angle = 180°. An equilateral triangle has three equal sides and three 60° angles. Set equal parts equal to each other (or to 60°), solve for x, and substitute if needed.

Example

△ABC is isosceles with AB = AC and m∠A = 92°. Find m∠B.
