How Do You Find Missing Angles in an Isosceles Triangle?

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Finding the missing values of two angles in an isosceles triangle is not as difficult as it sounds. But how can two out of three angle's measurements be found? Well, there are special properties about an isosceles triangle which make this problem solvable. Watch this video as the instructor explains the triangle sum theorem and how it applies to an isosceles triangle.
