Question 224057: The measure of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is twice the measure of a base angle. Find the measure of a bas angle. Answer by solver91311(24713) (Show Source):
In order for the triangle to be isosceles, the two base angles must be of equal measure. The sum of the measures of the three angles of any triangle is 180 degrees.
Let represent the measure of a base angle of your isosceles triangle. Then:
