Answer:
Let △ABC be an isosceles triangle such that AB =AC Then we have to prove that ∠B=∠C Draw the bisector AD of ∠A meeting BC in D
Now in triangles ABD and ACD We have AB=AC (Given)
∠BAD=∠CAD (because AD is bisector of ∠A
AD=AD (Common side)
Therefore by SAS congruence condition we have
△ABC≅△ACD
⇒∠B=∠C
(Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal ).

Isosceles triangle ∆ ABC
i. e, AB = AC
∠ B = ∠ C
Draw a bisector of ∠A intersecting BC at D.
In ∆ BAD and ∆CAD
AB = AC ( given )
∠BAD = ∠CAD ( by construction )
AD = AD ( common )
∆ BAD ≅ ∆ CAD
( By SAS Congruence rule )
Thus,
∠ABD = ∠ACD ( By CPCT )
∠B = ∠C
Hence, Angle opposite to equal sides are equal.
Hence, Proved
