Determine the measure of each of the equal angles of a right angled isosceles triangle.

OR


ABC is a right-angled triangle in which A = 90° and AB = AC. Find B and C.

Given,

ABC is a right-angled triangle


A = 90°


And,


AB = AC


To find: B and C


Since, AB = AC


Therefore, B = C


And, Sum of angles in a triangle = 180o


A + B + C = 180o


90o + 2B = 180o


2B = 90o


B = 45o


Hence, the measure of each angle of the equal angles of a right angle isosceles triangle is 45o.
