and
AB =InAC. Find ÐB and ÐC. A
Sol. ABC,

sides are equal]
Let B = C = x

ÐA + ÐB + ÐC = 180 [Angle - sum property B C
of a triangle]
 90 + x + x = 180

equal sides are equal]
Also, CB = CA
 B = A ..(ii) [Angles opposite to equal
sides are equal]
 A = B = C …(iii) [from (i) and B C

Also, A + B + C = 180 [Angle - sum property of a triangle]
 A + A + A = 180 [From (iii)]
 3A = 180 A = B = C = 60
? 60
180
 ÐA = Thus, each angle of an equilateral
