What is the measure of each base angle of an isosceles triangle if its vertex
angle measures 24 degrees and its two congruent sides measure 11 units?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

The measure of the base angle is  %28180-24%29%2F2 = 156%2F2 = 78 degrees.


It does not depend on the measure of the lateral sides of this triangle,
which was given to you in this problem with the only goal to confuse you.
