You can put this solution on YOUR website!
there are two sets of answers here.
An isosceles triangle has two angles that are the same measure.
You are given one angle.
If one of the other angles is equal , then there are two 16 degree angles and the third angle is 180 - (2*16)
However, what if one of the other angles is NOT 16? In that case, those two angles must be equal to each other AND they must total (180 -16) when added together. So each would be (180-16)/2
