1. In an isosceles triangle, two sides and the angles opposite them are equal.
2. The sum of angles in any triangle is 180^\circ
3. Let the measure of the equal angles be x
4. The equation is 2x + 30 = 180
5. Solve for x
2x = 150 \\
x = \frac{150}{2} = 75
6. The measurement of the equal angles is 75^\circ
