MCQ
In $\triangle\text{ABC, AB = AC}$ and $\angle\text{B}=50^{\circ}.$ Then, $\angle\text{A = } ?$
- A$40^\circ$
- B$50^\circ$
- ✓$80^\circ$
- D$130^\circ$
✓
Answer
Correct option: C.
$80^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{ABC,}$
$\text{AB = AC}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{C}=\angle\text{B}$ (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{C}=50^{\circ}$
Now, $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}+50^{\circ}+50^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}=80^{\circ}$
$\text{AB = AC}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{C}=\angle\text{B}$ (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{C}=50^{\circ}$
Now, $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}+50^{\circ}+50^{\circ}=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}=80^{\circ}$
