Answer:

m∠1 = m∠2 = 17°

Explanation:

You want to know the measures of the base angles of an isosceles triangle with an a.pex angle of 146°.

Angle sum theorem

The sum of angles in a triangle is 180°. We can use x to represent the measures of each of the two congruent base angles of the isosceles triangle:

x + 146° +x = 180°

2x = 34° . . . . . . subtract 146°

x = 17° . . . . . . . divide by 2

The measures of the angles are ...

m∠1 = m∠2 = 17°
