Solution
Given that ABC is a right angled triangle such that ∠A = 90° and AB = AC Since,
AB = AC ⇒ ΔABC is also isosceles
∴ We can say that ΔABC is right angled isosceles triangle
⇒ ∠C=∠B and ∠A=90° ................(1)
Now, we have
Sum of angled in a triangle =180°
⇒ ∠A+∠B+∠C=180°
⇒ 90°+∠B+∠B=180° [∵ From (1)]
⇒ 2∠B=180°-90°
⇒`∠B=(90°)/2=45°`
∴ ∠B=∠C=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,

Therefore, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD (AAS)
