Ex 4.4, 2 (b) In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal. The vertex angle is 40°. What are the base angles of the triangle? (Remember, the sum of three angles of a triangle is 180°). Let, base angles be of = b° Given that, Vertex angle = 40° Now, we know that, Sum of all angles of a triangles = 180° So, 40 + b + b = 180 40 + 2b = 180 2b = 180 − 40 2b = 140 b = 140/2 b = 70 ∴ Base angles of given isosceles triangle is 70°
