In triangle ABC, angle A is equal to 44°. If AB is equal to AC, find angle B and angle C.


Given: 

In triangle ABC , $\angle$A = 44°.

AB = AC 


To find:

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

Solution:

If two sides of a triangle are equal, then it is an isosceles triangle. So, the

corresponding angles are also equal.

$\angle$B = $\angle$C.

Apply angle sum property,

Sum of angles of triangle = 180°

$\angle$ A + $\angle$ B + $\angle$ C = 180°

44°+ $\angle$B + $\angle$C = 180°

$\angle$ B + $\angle$C = $180°  -  44°$

$\angle$B + $\angle$ C = 136°

$\angle$ B = $\angle$ C.

So,

$\angle$ B + $\angle$ B = 136°

2 $\angle$ B = 136°

$\angle$ B = $\frac{136}{2}$


$\angle$ B = 68°


Therefore,


$\angle$ B = 68°


$\angle$ C = 68°
