If triangle ABC is isosceles and right angled at B, find the measure of all angles
Answers
Answer:
Here B is given as 90°
A and C is unknown
An isosceles triangle has 2 sides equal so A and C are same . Let's take A and C as X
X + X + B = 180° ( sum of 3 angles of triangle is 180° )
2X + 90 = 180°
2X = 180° - 90°
2X = 90°
X = 90°/2
X = 45°
So A = 45°
B = 90°
C = 45°
Given
Triangle ABC is an Isosceles triangle
∠B is a right angled triangle
To Find
Measure of all angles of triangle
Property of Isosceles triangle
In an Isosceles triangle two sides are equal and the angle opposite to the equal sides are equal.
e.g.,∆ABC is an Isosceles triangle and side AB and BC are two equal sides then ∠B=∠C=90°
and the remaining angle which is ∠A must be 90° as sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°
Therefore , ∠A=90° ; ∠B & ∠C=90°
Extra information=>
Perimeter of an Isosceles triangle=2a +b
Area of an Isosceles triangle=b× h ÷2
where b is the base and h is the height of an Isosceles triangle.
