Question

The measure of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 108. Find the measure of a base angle.

Answer 1

Each base angle would be equal to 36 degrees.

Explanation:

In order to find the base angle measurements, we need to note that both angles would be equal to each other because it is an isosceles triangle. So, we subtract the vertex angle and then we divide by 2 to get the base angle measurements.

180 - 108 = 72

72/2 = 36 degrees
