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


OnlyAprajita: Answers are 40, 40 how??
OnlyAprajita: 40° , 40°
OnlyAprajita: Ohh got it
Swatishka: Better!
Rishita2003: ok

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°.

Swatishka: Your welcome dearie!
Rishita2003: it is 80 or 40
Swatishka: 40°
Rishita2003: then mine is wrong
Swatishka: There are two base angles so you have to divide 80/2 and so you get 40°
Swatishka: Its okay... You can edit it! :)
Rishita2003: hmm
OnlyAprajita: Yeah. Again Thank you so much
Rishita2003: my pleasure
Swatishka: ;-)
