Question:

If ΔABC is isosceles triangle with AB = AC and ∠ABC is 65°, ∠BCA and ∠BAC are, respectively:

Options:

65° and 50°

75° and 70°

50° and 65°

70° and 75°

Correct Answer:

65° and 50°

Explanation:

AB = AC (ΔABC is an isosceles triangle)

∠ABC = 65° 

We know that,

 If AB = AC then,

 ∠ ABC = ∠ACB = 65° 

So, ∠BCA = ∠ACB = 65° 

∠ABC + ∠ BAC + ∠ACB = 180° 

 ∠BAC = 180° - 130° 

 ∠BAC = 50°
