Answer:

116 degrees, 64 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

We have two congruent, isosceles forming a parallelogram (imagine flipping one over and joining it to the other)

Opposite angles should then be equal, so if the largest is 116 degrees, then the angle opposite to it is also 116 degrees, and the angle adjacent to it is supplementary, which would be 64 degrees
