Question

In a ΔABC, if AB = AC and ∠B = 70°, find ∠A. 

Solution

Consider , ΔABC we have `∠B=70^@` and AB =AC 
Since, AB A C  ABC is an isosceles triangle
⇒ ∠B=∠C      [Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]

⇒`∠B = ∠C = 70^@` 

And also,
Sum of angles in a triangle `180^@` 

⇒ `∠A+∠B+∠C=180^@` 

⇒`∠A+70^@+70^@=180^@` 

⇒`∠A+140^@=180^@` 

⇒`∠A=180^@-140^@⇒∠A=40^@`
