As we know a triangle is 180°
If it is an isosceles triangle then
the base angle will be (180° - 100°) = 80°.
Which means 80/2=40 degree
If it is an isosceles triangle then
the base angle will be (180° - 100°) = 80°.
Which means 80/2=40 degree

Heya!!
We know that an isosceles triangle has two sides of the same length and one side of different length.
The sum of the measures of the angles of the triangle is 180°.
We know the vertical angle of the triangle i.e., 100°.
Let the base angles be x and x since they have the same value.
So we get,
x+x+100=180° (by condition)
2x+100=180°
2x= 180-100
2x=80
x=80/2
x=40°
So the measure of both the base angles are x i.e., 40°.
