This is the Transamerica Building. You need to reproduce the pyramid on the top of the building to create a logo for the Transamerica Corp. The information you have been given is that the angle at the lower right hand corner of the pyramid is approximately 85°. In order to create a logo that visually matches the building you will need to find the measure of the other two angles. Describe your method:
Equilateral Triangles Base Angles Corollary If two congruent sides means two congruent angles, then three congruent sides must mean three congruent angles
Corollaries: Equilateral Triangles Corollary to the Base Angles Theorem: If a Triangle is equilateral, then it is equiangular. Why must this be true? Corollary to the Converse Base Angles Theorem: If a Triangle is equiangular, then it is equilateral.
