What type of triangle is being discussed in the video?

• Equilateral

• Isosceles

• Scalene

• Right-angled

What is the given vertical angle of the triangle?

• 30 degrees

• 40 degrees

• 60 degrees

• 50 degrees

If the vertical angle is 40 degrees, what is the sum of the base angles in the triangle?

• 120 degrees

• 140 degrees

• 100 degrees

• 80 degrees

What is the sum of all angles in any triangle?

• 360 degrees

• 180 degrees

• 270 degrees

• 90 degrees

How is the equation set up to find the base angles?

• X + X + 40 = 180

• X + 40 = 180

• 2X + 40 = 180

• X + X = 180

What is the first step in solving the equation 2X + 40 = 180?

• Subtract 40 from both sides

• Add 40 to both sides

• Divide both sides by 2

• Multiply both sides by 2

After subtracting 40 from both sides, what is the resulting equation?

• X = 180

• 2X = 140

• 2X = 180

• X = 140

What is the final step to find the value of X?

• Multiply both sides by 2

• Divide both sides by 2

• Subtract 40 from both sides

• Add 40 to both sides

What is the value of each base angle in the triangle?

• 60 degrees

• 70 degrees

• 90 degrees

• 80 degrees
