Well you know. There are some cool facts about triangles that you ought to know.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The first fact is that the three angles of a triangle always add up to 180 degrees. It's pretty awesome. The second fact is that if a triangle is isosceles, then the base angles are congruent. Sexy, right?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

The answer IS NOT A!!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj can you please tell me why ? :(

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Because the question asks "what is the measure of EACH base angle" If each base angle were 136 and the vertex angle = 44 then the total of all three angles would be 316 degrees which is impossible!!!

OpenStudy (mertsj):

One must always be careful to answer the question the problem asks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Mertsj yes, you are right! I am sorry! :( would B be correct?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Yes. B

Thank you :)
