उत्तर
Let ΔABC be isosceles such that AB = AC
⇒∠B=∠C
Given that vertex angle A is twice the sum of the base angles B and C.
i.e., ∠A=2(∠B+∠C)
⇒∠A=2(∠B+∠B) [∵∠B=∠C]
⇒∠A=2(2∠B)
⇒∠A=4∠B
Now,
We know that sum of angles in a triangle 180°
⇒ ∠A+ ∠B+ ∠C=180°
4∠B+∠B+∠B=180° [∵∠A=4∠B and ∠B=∠C]
6∠B=180°
`∠B=(180°) /6=30° ` ∠B=30°
Since, ∠B=∠C⇒ ∠B=∠C=30°
And` ∠A=4∠B⇒ ∠A=4xx30°=120° `
∴Angles of the given triangle are 120°,30°,30°

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)
∠B = ∠C (Because AB = AC)

Therefore, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD (AAS)
So, ∠BAD = ∠CAD (CPCT)
