Question 360263: and isosceles triangle has a vertex angle of 112 degrees, what is the measure of one of the acute angles?
Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
since the base angles are equal and the sum of the angles of a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees, then each of the base angles has to be:
(180 - 112) / 2 = 68 / 2 = 34 degrees.
you get 34 + 34 + 112 = 68 + 112 = 180
