Given:

Base angle of an isosceles triangle is 15 degrees more than its vertical angle.

To find:

The measure of each angle of the triangle.

Solution:

Let x be the vertical angle. Then,

One base angle = x+15 degrees

We know that base angles of an isosceles triangle are equal.

Another base angle = x+15 degrees

Now, the sum of all angles of a triangle is 180 degrees by the angle sum property.


x^\circ+(x+15)^\circ+(x+15)^\circ=180^\circ (Angle sum property)


(3x+30)^\circ=180^\circ


3x+30=180


3x=180-30


3x=150

Divide both sides by 3.


x=(150)/(3)


x=50

The measure of base angles is


(x+15)^\circ=(50+15)^\circ


(x+15)^\circ=65^\circ

Therefore, the measure of angles are 50°, 65° and 65°.
