How can we identify which side of the right angled triangle is base and which side is perpendicular if both the theta of triangle are equal?

Solution

the opposite side of the right angle ,ie 90 degree is taken as hypoteneus ,
here the other two angle are same ,therefore the other two sides other than the hypoteneus must be same
so you can choose any side other than hypoteneus as base or hight since they are equal
