An isosceles triangle has two sides of the same length. It also has two angles with the same measure. It cannot have two angles measuring 126 degrees, because that would add up to 252 degrees, and we know that the sum of the measures of all three angles in a triangle is 180 degrees. The angle measuring 126 degrees is the odd one. Let x be the measure (in degrees) of the other two angles, Since the sum of the angles in a triangle is 180 degrees,
-->-->-->-->-->.
The other two angles measure 27 degrees each.
