given that:
AC=BC
AB=2AC²
⇒AB=AC²+BC²
∵we know that if the sum of squares of two sides of a triangle is equal to the third side, then the triangle is a right angle triangle
∴∠C=90° (Ans.)

Hello there!
Thanks for the question.
So, It's given that
AC = BC
and also ,
AB² = 2AC²
From this,
You can write
AB² = AC² + AC²
This looks like Pythagoras theorem. But yeah, Comparison of just two sides won't make it complete. That's why We are given AC = BC,
Now our equation looks,
AB² = AC² + BC²
This is now looking like Pythagoras equation ( As it involves three sides of the given triangle) which is Hypotenuse² = side² + side²
So from the above relationship,
You can say AB is the hypotenuse.
Since, AB is the hypotenuse, C is right angled.
Simple, So The angle C measures 90°
Hope you are helped !
