Question
In a ΔABC, if ∠B = ∠C = 45°, which is the longest side?
Advertisements
Solution
Given that in ΔABC,
∠B=∠C=45°
We have to find longest side
We know that,
Sum of angles in a triangle=180°
⇒∠A+∠B+∠C=180°
⇒∠A+45°+45°=180°
⇒∠A=180°-(45°+45°)=180°-90°=90°
∴ ∠A=90°

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:
