Question : One angle of an isosceles obtuse triangle is $28 \frac{1}{2}^{\circ}$. Find the measure of its obtuse angle in degrees.

Option 1: $132^{\circ}$

Option 2: $112^{\circ}$

Option 3: $121^{\circ}$

Option 4: $123^{\circ}$

Team Careers360 19th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $123^{\circ}$


Solution : One of the angles of obtuse-angled isosceles triangle is $\frac{57}{2}^\circ$, the other same angle will be $\frac{57}{2}^\circ$. 
Let the obtuse angle be $x$.
Thus, the sum of angles of a triangle $=180^\circ$
⇒ $\frac{57}{2}+\frac{57}{2}+x=180^\circ$ 
⇒ $\frac{114}{2}+x=180^\circ$

⇒ $x=123^\circ$
So, the measure of its
