Given:

The angles of an isosceles triangle are,

∠M=40°

∠N=70°

The objective is to find the measure of ∠O.

An isosceles triangle is a triangle with two equal sides or two equal angles.

From the above figure, the two equal angles x are always larger than the third angle y.

Thus, the third angle will also be equal to the larger angle from the given agle.

Hence, the third angle is, ∠O = 70°.
