उत्तर
In the given figure, measures of the angles of ΔABC are in the ratio 3 : 4 : 5. We need to find the measure of the smallest angle of the triangle.
Let us take,
∠A = 3x
∠B = 4x
∠C = 5x
Now, applying angle sum property of the triangle in ΔABC, we get,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
3x + 4x + 5x = 180°
12X = 180°
`x = (180°)/ 12`
x = 15°
Substituting the value of x in ,∠A,∠Band∠C
∠A = 3(15°) = 45
∠B = 4(15V) = 60
∠C = 5(15°) = 75°
Since, the measure of ∠A is the smallest
Thus, the measure of the smallest angle of the triangle is 45°

ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and D is a point on BC such that AD ⊥ BC (Figure). To prove that ∠BAD = ∠CAD, a student proceeded as follows:
In ∆ABD and ∆ACD,
AB = AC (Given)
