Question

What is always true about the angles of an isosceles triangle?

Answer 1

The measure of base angle is $\boxed{{{70}^ \circ }}$ if the vertex angle is ${40^ \circ }.$

Further explanation:

There are three types of triangles.

1. Equilateral triangle

2. Isosceles triangle

3. Scalene triangle

Given:

The options are as follows,

(a). All three angles are congruent.

(b). At least two of the angles are congruent.

(c). the vertex angle is a right a right angle.

(d). the vertex angle is obtuse.

Explanation:

Equilateral triangle has all sides equal and all the angles are equal.

Isosceles triangle has 2 sides equal to each other and the two base angles are equal to each other.

Scalene triangle has all sides unequal and the angles are also not equal to each other.

The sum of all the angles of the triangle is  ${180^ \circ }.$

The two angles are congruent in the isosceles triangle.

Option (a) is not correct as all the angles are not congruent.

Option (b) is correct as the two angles are equal.

Option (c) is not correct as the vertex angle is not always right angled.

Option (d) is not correct as the vertex angle is not always obtuse.

Answer 2

Answer:

Option 2 is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to choose the statement which is always true about the angles of an isosceles triangle.

An isosceles triangle is a triangle that has two sides of equal length and  has one vertex angle and two congruent base angles.

As opposite sides are equal

⇒ Two base angles are also equal by definition of isosceles triangle.

Hence, at least two of the angles of isosceles triangle are congruent.

Option 2 is correct.
