Answer:
45°
Step-by-step explanation:
The acute angles of a right triangle are complementary. The base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. If x is the measure of the base angles, this requires ...
x = 90-x . . . . . the base angle is congruent to the other base angle
2x = 90 . . . . . add x
x = 90/2 = 45 . . . . divide by 2
The measure of a base angle of an isosceles right triangle is 45°.

Answer: Choice C) Multiplication property of inequalityThe rule basically says that if you start with a < b and you multiply both sides by some positive number c, then a*c < b*c. The sign doesn't flip if you multiply both sides by a positive number.
The sign will flip if c is negative. So we'll go from a < b to a*c > b*c if c is negative.
Example 1:
1 < 5
-2 > -10 ... multiplied both sides by -2; sign flips
Example 2:
3 < 7
9 < 21 ... multiplied both sides by 3; sign does not flip
Similar rules apply to a > b,
and
