The triangle in this problem is not clearly described,
\n" ); document.write( "but the problem does not make sense unless it is an isosceles triangle.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "In an isosceles triangle,
\n" ); document.write( "there are two sides of equal length that we call legs,
\n" ); document.write( "joined at a vertex that is called the apex.
\n" ); document.write( "The other side is called the base,
\n" ); document.write( "and the angles adjacent to the base,
\n" ); document.write( "both having the same measure,
\n" ); document.write( "are called base angles.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "In any triangle, the measure of an exterior angle
\n" ); document.write( "is the sum of the measure of the two interior angles
\n" ); document.write( "that are not adjacent to that exterior angle.
\n" ); document.write( "If the exterior angle by the apex measures \"160%5Eo\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "each of the base angles measures \"160%5Eo%2F2=highlight%2880%5Eo%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "The apex angle, supplementary to the \"160%5Eo\" exterior angle,
\n" ); document.write( "measures \"180%5Eo-160%5Eo=highlight%2820%5Eo%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
