Solution

Step 1:

Let the other two equal angles be x.

Step 2:

Sum of angles in a triangle is 180 degrees:


\begin{gathered} x\text{ + x + 45 = 180} \\ \\ 2x\text{ = 180 - 45} \\ \\ 2x\text{ = 135} \\ \\ x\text{ = }(135)/(2)\text{ = 67.5} \end{gathered}

Answer

The measure of the other two angles is 67.5
