Properties of an isosceles triangle: it has two sides and two angles that are the same (congruent) SO:
If one of your base angles is 35 degrees, the other base angle is also 35 degrees.
A property that applies to all triangles is that the sum of the measures of all three angles is equal to 180 degrees. We add the measurement of the two angles we already know, and subtract them from 180 to find out the measurement of the last angle.
35+35=70
180-70=110
The other angle is 110 degrees
Hope this helps!
