IF the vertex angle is 58 the other two base angles are the same.
The sum of angles in a triangle = 180 degrees.
We get
58+%2B+x+%2B+x+=+180
solving for x, we get
58+%2B+2x+=+180
2x+=+122
x+=+61

Given,an isosceles triangle has one angle that measures 58 degrees.
The sum of the other two base angles = 180-58 = 122 degrees
