Something is wrong with the way you have posed this problem. The sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 degrees. Also, two of the angles in an isosceles triangle have the same measure -- that's what makes it an isosceles triangle in the first place. So, you either have a scalene triangle with angles of 35, 100, and 45; or you have an isosceles triangle of 35, 35, and 110; or an isosceles triangle of 40, 40, and 100. Or perhaps something completely different because I was unable to guess some other typo that you might have made.
