$ABC$ is a right angled triangle in which $\angle A = 90^o$ and $AB = AC$. Find $\angle B$ and $\angle C$.


Given:

$ABC$ is a right angled triangle in which $\angle A = 90^o$ and $AB = AC$.

To do:

We have to find $\angle B$ and $\angle C$.

Solution:

In $\triangle ABC, \angle A = 90^o$

$AB =AC$

This implies,

$\angle C = \angle B$                     (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

$\angle A+\angle B+\angle C=180^o$

$90^o+\angle B+\angle C=180^o$

$\angle B + \angle C = 90^o$

Therefore,

$\angle B = \angle C = \frac{90^o}{2} = 45^o$

Hence, $\angle B = \angle C = 45^o$.
