EXERCISE
1. In an isosceles triangle, the angle between the equal side is
70
o
 , themeasure of the two remaining two angles is
a.
70 ,40

Sol: Correct option is (c)
We know that in an isosceles triangle, angles opposite equal sides are equalTherefore, Let each angle =

Sol:
We know that the sum of the angles of a triangle =
