Answer:

a = 40°

Explanation:

An isosceles triangle has two sides that are the same size. The angles opposite from those sides are equal (they are called base angles.) And, the three angles in a triangle add up to 180°

So,

100 + a + a = 180

combine like terms

100 + 2a = 180

subtract 100

2a = 80

divide by 2

a = 40
