document.write( "In a triangle, when left side and right side are congruent, then, that triangle is a isosceles triangle. So, as per the properties, the angles opposite to the congruent sides are also congruent.  So, x = 35 degrees as left corner = 35 degrees.  <BR>\n" );
document.write( "The sum of the angles of a triangle = 180 degrees.<BR>\n" );
