Exercise 26 Page 613

In an isosceles triangle, there are three angles. Two base angles that are congruent, and a vertex angle, From the exercise, we know that the vertex angle is Let's add this information to the yellow triangle.

According to the Triangle Sum Theorem, the sum of the measures of the interior angles of a triangle is Therefore, we can write the following equation
Let's solve this equation.
Solve for
The base angles are
