Question 832501: Triangle ABC is isosceles with vertex A: the measure of angle A is 32 degrees, find the measure of angles b and c

Every (Euclidean) triangle has an angle sum of 180 degrees.

If angle A is 32 degrees, then the sum of angles B & C will be 180-32=148

Since we know this is an isosceles triangle,

the 2 non-vertex angles must be equal in angle measure.

So B=C=148%2F2

B=C=74

Thus angles B and C each have an angle measure of 74 degrees.

I hope this helps! Keep practicing! :)
