if the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 40 degrees t
if the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is 40 degrees then find the measure of the other two angles. for steps 1 and 2 of the five step solution ,draw the triangle and label the angles with the appropriate measures or variables. then finish the last 3 steps as usual.
 here is the five step solution
 1.)use variables to represent your unknowns:
 2.)draw a diagram
 3.)draw a table
 4.)set up and solve your equation
 
 the table has three boxes going down and 4 going across
 thank u i tried my best to figure this out but couldnt
Solution
the vertex angle of an isosceles triangle is the angle between the 2 equal sides.
 the other 2 angles have to be equal.
 the sum of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.
 180 - 40 = 140.
 140/2 = 70
 each of the other angles has to be 70 degrees.
 70 + 70 + 40 = 180.

 solving the problem the way they asked you to, this is what i get.
 Triangle is ABC.
 angle A is 40 degrees.
 angle B and angle C are equal because this is an isosceles triangle.
 sum of the angles of a triangle is 180.
 angle A + angle B + angle C = 180.
 since angle B = angle C you can substitute angle B for angle C so you get:
 angle A + 2 times angle B = 180
 since angle A is 40 degrees, you substitute in the equation to get:
 40 + 2 * angle B = 180
 subtract 40 from both sides of the equation to get:
 2 * angle B = 140
 divide both sides of the equation by 2 to getr:
 angle B = 70
 since angle A = angle B, then angle A equals 70 degrees also.
 -----
 The 3 angles of your triangle are:
 angle A = 40
 angle B = 70
 angle C = 70
 sumb of tghe angles of a triangle is 180.
 40 + 70 + 70 = 180
 problem is solved.

 I was not able to figure out the table.
 The table has 3 boxes down and 4 across.
 Best I could figure was the first row was:
 A B C Total
 the second row was:
 40 70 70 180
