Since All the Angles of a Triangle add up to 180o and Since we know that Two Sides (and therefore two Angles) in an Isosceles are equal.

So we can get the SUM of the other two angles is 180o - 50o = 130o.

And therefore the other two angles are 130o / 2 = 65o

Why does the acute angles in an isosceles right triangle always measures 45 degrees?

The question lists three facts: "triangle", "right", and "isosceles". Each fact carries important information. -- "triangle" ... The three angles in any triangle always add up to 180 degrees -- "right" ... One angle in a right triangle must be a right angle = 90 degrees. That leaves the other 90 degrees for the other two angles to share. -- "isosceles" ... Two of the angles in an isosceles triangle are equal. If there are 90 degrees to share between them, then each of them is 45 degrees.


What kind of triangle has angles 50 degrees 65 degrees and 65 degess?

Isosceles Triangle. An isosceles triangle is a triangle with (at least) two equal sides/ angles.


One angle of an isosceles triangle measure 100 degree what are the measures of the other two angles?

40 degrees each


What are the angles of a right isosceles triangle?

The two other angles are 45 degrees each. The three angles of every triangle always add up to 180 degrees. -- A right triangle is a triangle that has a right angle in it. -- A right angle is 90 degrees. -- That leaves 90 degrees for the other two angles in the right triangle. -- If it happens to be isosceles, then the other two angles are equal. -- Those must both be 45 degrees.


What is the measure of the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle if one of its base angles measures 42?

If you are dealing with an isosceles triangle, if one of the base angles measures 42 degrees then the other base angle measures 42 degrees. (By definitioin an isosceles triangle has at least 2 equal sides and the angle opposite those sides with be equal.) If you add up the degrees in each angle within a triangle, it will always equal 180 degrees. Knowing all this you can set up a formula: Angle 1 + Angle 2 + Angle 3 = 180 42 + 42 + Angle 3 = 180 Angle 3 = 96 degrees

What type of triangle has an angle that measures 120 degrees and an angle that measures thirty degrees?

An isosceles triangle, because the angles of a triangle add up to 180 and you already know that one angle measures 120 degrees, the other is 30, and so the unknown angle must also be 30 degrees. Since two of the angles are the same, two of the sides are going to be the same, making it an isosceles triangle.
