Demystifying - Base angles of an isosceles triangle

Drills

The angles facing the equal sides are equal, and the two different answers when the given angle might be either.

Author note — to cover

Base angles opposite the equal sides are equal: find angles from a given apex or base angle, including the two-answer case where the given angle could sit in either position. The congruence proof of the fact lives on Proofs using congruent triangles. Both tiers. (G4, G6)
