what is the base of an isosceles triangle
Isosceles triangle In an isosceles triangle that has exactly two equal sides, the equal sides are called legs and the third side is called the base. The angle included by the legs is called the vertex angle and the angles that have the base as one of their sides are called the base angles.[6] The vertex opposite the base is called the apex.[7] In the equilateral triangle case, since all sides are equal, any side can be called the base.[8]
Octagon A regular octagon is a closed figure with sides of the same length and internal angles of the same size. It has eight lines of reflective symmetry and rotational symmetry of order 8. A regular octagon is represented by the Schläfli symbol {8}. The internal angle at each vertex of a regular octagon is 135° (    3 π 4   {\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\frac {3\pi }{4}}}  radians). The central angle is 45° (    π 4   {\displaystyle \scriptstyle {\frac {\pi }{4}}}  radians).
