An Isosceles triangle has 2 sides of equal length . The base angles of an isosceles triangles are equal. The total angle of a triangle is equals to 180 degree's. The third angle can be found below


180^(\circ)-2(65^(\circ))

Note each of the base angle is 65 degrees. Th sum of the 2 base angles will be 2(65) = 130 degree's.
