Answer:
∠A = 36°
∠B = 72°
∠C = 72°
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
AB =AC (Thus, it is an Isoceles Triangle)
∠A is half of ∠B (means ∠A = 1/2∠B )
Sol:
∠B = AC ; ∠C = AB
∠B = ∠C (∵ Opposite angle of equal sides of an isosceles triangle are equal)
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (∵ Angle Sum Property)
Substituting ∠B = ∠C
∠A + ∠B + ∠B = 180°
∠A + 2∠B = 180°
Substituting ∠A = 1/2∠B
1/2∠B + 2∠B = 180°
∠B/2 + 2∠B = 180° (we can write 1/2∠B as ∠B/2)
L.C.M = 2
∠B/2 + 4∠B/2 = 180°
5∠B/2 = 180°
5∠B = 180° x 2
∠B = 360°/5
∠B = 72°
∠C = ∠B = 72°
∠A = 1/2∠B = 1/2(72°) = 36°
