Answer:

the vertex is 70 degrees and the other 2angles are 55 degrees each

in a triangle the angles must total to 180 degrees.

if the exterior angle is 110 degrees the supplementary angle of this angle would be = 180-110= 70 degrees

as it is an isosceles triangle the other two angles must be equal.

such that x+x+70= 180 , where x are the angles of the base

2x= 180-70

2x=110

x=110/2

x= 55
