If you are given one interior angle of an isosceles triangle you can find the other two.
For example, We are given the angle at the apex as shown on the right of 40°. We know that the interior angles of all triangles add to 180°. So the two base angles must add up to 180-40, or 140°. Since the two base angles are congruent (same measure), they are each 70°.
base angle of isosceles triangle If we are given a base angle of say 45°, we know the base angles are congruent (same measure) and the interior angles of any triangle always add to 180°. So the apex angle must be 180-45-45 or 90°.
