In an isosceles triangle, if the vertex angle is twice the sum of the base angles, calculate the angles of the triangle.

Given: Our given triangle is isosceles triangle. Also, the vertex angle is twice the sum of the base angles


To find: Measures of angles of triangle.


It is given that that given triangle is isosceles triangle.


Let vertex angle be y and base angles be x each.


So by given condition,


y = 2(x + x)


y = 4x


Also, We know that,


Sum of all angles in any triangle = 180°


y + x + x = 180°


y +2x = 180°


4x + 2x = 180°


6x = 180°


x = 30°


y = 4 × 30°


y = 120°


Hence, vertex angle is 120° and base angles are 30° each.
