in an isosceles trapezoid, the base angles are..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its either congruent, supplementary, complementary , or right

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

http://www.mathsisfun.com/geometry/triangles-interactive.html <--- click on "isosceles" notice the angles at the bottom of the two equal sides/legs

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whats the answer?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well... did you see anything particular about those angles?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@jdoe0001 like what?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

|dw:1403134323590:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what are the base angles?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

the so-called mislabeled base angles will be the angles on the other end of the same-length sides so |dw:1403134457129:dw|

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

those 2 angles made by those 2 sides/legs once they reach down will end up being equal to each other, or "congruent"
