What is the measure of each base angle of an isosceles triangle if its third angle measures 32 degrees and its 2 congruent sides measure 15 units?
-----
The length of the sides has nothing to do with the measure
of the angles.
----
Each base angel has size = x
-----
Equation:
x + x + 32 = 180 degrees
--------------------
2x = 148
---
x = 74 degrees
