That is a contradiction.
Sides opposite equal angles are equal.
If you have two equal angles you have two equal sides.

For any triangle, the sum of the angles is always 180. So to get the third angle in this case, apply the following formula, where x is the unknown angle:
110%2Bx=180
highlight%28x=70%29
