Answer:

∠ C = 100°

Explanation:

since 2 sides of the triangle are congruent then the triangle is isosceles with base angles congruent.

consider the angle inside the triangle to the left of 140°

this angle and 140° are a linear pair and sum to 180°

angle + 140° = 180° ( subtract 140° from both sides )

angle = 40°

then the angle on the left of the triangle = 40° ( base angles congruent )

the sum of the angles in a triangle = 180° , so

∠ C + 40° + 40° = 180°

∠ C + 80° = 180° ( subtract 80° from both sides )

∠ C = 100°
