Base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. Isosceles Triangle Theorem: If two sides of a triangle are congruent, then the angles opposite those sides are congruent. This is sometimes stated: Base angles of an isosceles triangle are congruent. Find all the missing measures. 48˚ 15 cm 15 cm 66˚ 66˚ 12.2 cm
