MCQ
In $\triangle\text{ABC, BC = AB}$ and $\angle\text{B}=80^{\circ}.$ Then, $\angle\text{A = ?}$
- ✓$50^\circ$
- B$40^\circ$
- C$100^\circ$
- D$80^\circ$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$50^\circ$
In $\triangle\text{ABC,}$
$\text{BC = AB}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{C}$ (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Now, $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}+80^{\circ}+\angle\text{A}=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow2\angle\text{A}+100^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}=50^{\circ}$
$\text{BC = AB}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}=\angle\text{C}$ (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
Now, $\angle\text{A}+\angle\text{B}+\angle\text{C}=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}+80^{\circ}+\angle\text{A}=180^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow2\angle\text{A}+100^{\circ}$
$\Rightarrow\angle\text{A}=50^{\circ}$
