| The bisector MS is drawn in an isosceles triangle KLM with base KM. Find the angles of the triangle KLM if the MSK angle is 105 degrees.
Since MS is a bisector, it divides the angle M in half, which means ∠SMK = 0.5 * ∠M = 0.5 * ∠K, since the angles M and K are equal as the angles at the base of the CM of an isosceles triangle.
Consider triangle SMK. By condition, ∠MSK = 105 °, the sum of the angles of the triangle is 180 °, which means:
∠К + ∠SMK = 180 ° – ∠MSK = 180 ° – 105 ° = 75 °;
∠K + 0.5 * ∠K = 1.5 * ∠K = 75 °;
∠K = 75 ° / 1.5 = 50 °.
Consequently, the angles M and K at the base of the CM are equal to 50 °.
∠K = ∠М = 50 °.
Angle L at the vertex of this triangle:
∠L = 180 ° – ∠K – ∠M = 180 ° – 50 ° – 50 ° = 80 °.
