Answer:
Let vertical angle of the isosceles triangle = x°
∴ Each base angle = x + 15°
X + 15° + x + 15° + x° = 180°
(Sum of angles of a triangle)
⇒ 3x + 30° = 180°
⇒ 3x = 180° - 30° = 150°
∴ x = 150°/3 = 50°
Hence vertical angle = 50°
and each base angle = 50° + 15° = 65°

Answer:
Let the vertical angle of the isosceles triangle = X⁰
According to question
Then the each base angle of the triangle is = X⁰+15⁰
As we know the sum of all three angles in a triangle is 180⁰
=> X⁰ + X⁰+15⁰+ X⁰+15⁰ = 180⁰
=> 3X⁰ + 30⁰ = 180⁰
=> 3X⁰ = 180⁰- 30⁰= 150⁰
=> X⁰ = 150⁰/3= 50⁰
And X⁰+15⁰= 50⁰+15⁰ = 65⁰
So the vertical angle of the triangle
is 50⁰ and the base angled are 65⁰.
