    If the exterior vertex angle is 130, the the vertex angle is 180 -130 = 50 degrees.

    Thus the base angles total 180 -50 = 130

    So eac base angle is 65 degrees

    The exterior angle of a particular angle in a triangle is equal to the sum of the other two. Call the base angle x. Since the base angles of an isosceles triangle are the same, you have:

    x+x = 130

    2x = 130

    x = 65˚

  • Vertex angles are equal, external angles are supplementary, and the base angles are equal. Cant tell you without a picture.

    n isosceles triangel ais also called an equalateral triantgle. if the sides are the same then the angles are too so its 90 degrees.
