360 - 340 = 20 DEGREES
180 - 20 = 160
160 / 2 = 80 DEGREES
20 + 80 + 80 = 180

In an isosceles triangle, one exterior angle is 340 degrees. What is the possible outcomes for the other two interior angles?
----------
Exterior angles = 180 - interior angle, 340 > 180 --> not the correct way to measure it.
------
But ignoring that, the interior angle = 360 - 340 = 20 degs
-----
The angles can be 20, 20 & 140 degs
or
20, 80 & 80 degs
