The measure of each base angle is 56°.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The isosceles triangle has two base angles that are congruent (same measure).
  • Let the measure of each base angle is 'x'.
  • The sum of angles in a triangle add to 180°.

base angle + base angle + 68° = 180°

2x + 68° = 180°

2x = 112°

x = 112/2

x = 56°

Therefore, the measure of each base angle is 56°.
