Question
In $\triangle\text{ABC, BC = AB}$ and $\angle\text{B}=80^{\circ}.$ Then, $\angle\text{A = ?}$

Answer

  1. 50°
    Solution:
    In $\triangle\text{ABC,}$
    $\text{BC = AB}$
    $\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{C}$ (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
    Now, $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^{\circ}$
    $\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}+80^{\circ}+\angle\text{A}=180^{\circ}$
    $\Rightarrow2\angle\text{A}+100^{\circ}$
    $\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}=50^{\circ}$
