What other measurements do you have?
Vertical angle?
Length of sides?
Height?
Area?

In all triangles the measures of the angles add up to :
.
In isosceles triangles in particular, the base angles have the same measure:


IF you have VERTICAL ANGLE ,
-->-->--> .

Otherwise, there are other equations that relate other measurements
(you would probably need 2) to the measure of the base angles.
