An isosceles triangle is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides.
if an angle that measures 110° , other two (alpha and beta) must be same and will be:
alpha=beta
then
2alpha=180-110°
2alpha=70°
alpha=70%2F2°
alpha=35° and beta=35°
so, answer is:35°

This is so easy a problem, I'd hate to just give you the answer.

Would it help you find the answer if you knew these two facts?:

1. In every triangle the sum of the three angles is 180°.
2. The two base angles in an isosceles triangle have the 
same measure?

That's really all you need to know to figure out what the
measure of each of those base angles could be.
