3) In the diagram below, the seven inner triangles in the picture are isosceles. The larger, outer triangle is also isosceles. a. What is the value of each angle in the picture in terms of a? b. Jimothy notices that the leading coefficient of a in one triangle is one more than the previous triangle. Why is this, can you explain to Jimothy why this occurs? c. Jimothy claims that a=12, is he right, why or why not. Explain what you did to get to the solution along with showing your work.
