Problem
Triangles 
and 
are isosceles with 
and 
. Point 
is inside triangle , angle measures 40 degrees, and angle measures 140 degrees. What is the degree measure of angle 
?
Solution 1
We angle chase and find out that:
Solution 2
Since triangle is isosceles we know that angle 
.
Also since triangle is isosceles we know that 
.
This implies that 
.
Then the sum of the angles in quadrilateral 
is 
.
Solving the equation we get 
.
Therefore the answer is (D).
