Triangle abc is an isosceles right triangle. what is the measure of a base angle? 90 °

The measure of a base angle is 45°

Triangle is a plane figure that has 3 sides and also 3 angles.

The sum of all of the angles of triangle always 180°.

There are several types of triangles such as :

Let us now tackle the problem!

If triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle , then one of the angles will be 90°. The other two angles ( base angles ) will have the same value.

We could draw this triangle as shown in the attachment.

Let :

The measure of each of the base angle will be 45°

The measure of the base angle in an isosceles right triangle is .

Further explanation:

A triangle is two dimensional figure which is formed when three non-collinear points are joined. It has three sides, three angles and three edges.

On the basis of the angle a triangle is classified into three categories as follows:

1) Acute angled triangle:

If all the angles of a triangle are less than than the triangle is called an acute angled triangle.

2) Obtuse angled triangle:

If any of the angle of a triangle is greater than than the triangle is called obtuse angled triangle.

3) Right angled triangle:

If any one of the angle of the triangle is of than the triangle is called a right angled triangle.

On the basis of the sides of a triangle is classified into three categories as follows:

1) Scalene triangle:

If all the sides of a triangle are unequal or are distinct than the triangle is called a scalene triangle.

2) Equilateral triangle:

If all the sides of triangle are equal in length than the triangle is called an equilateral triangle.

3) Isosceles triangle:

If any two sides of a triangle are equal in length than the triangle is called an isosceles triangle.

In the question it is given that is an isosceles right triangle i.e., one of the angle must be of and at least two side of the triangle must be because it is an isosceles triangle.

Consider a triangle as which is right angled at A and the sides AB and AC are the equal sides.

Figure 1 (attached in the end) shows the in which and .

In an isosceles triangle the angles opposite to the equal sides of the triangle are equal.

Since, is an isosceles triangle and so, the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.

From figure 1 (attached in the end) it is observed that angle opposite to the side AB is and the angle opposite to the side AC is .

So, as per the property stated above .

Consider the measure of the as .

Since, so, .

The measure of all the three angles of are .

Angle sum property:

Sum of all the interior angles of triangle is always equals to .

Apply the angle sum property for .

Therefore, the value of is .  

This implies that the measure of the and is of .

Thus, the measure of the base angle in an isosceles right triangle is .
