Lets write the measurement of ∠ABC and ∠ACB if AB = AC.

Given: ΔABC, ∠BAC = 80° and AB = AC
To find the measurement of ∠ABC and ∠ACB
Now in ΔABC, it is given AB = AC
We know angles opposite to equal sides are equal, therefore
⇒∠ACB = ∠ABC………(i)
We also know in a triangle the sum of all three interior angles is equal to 180°.
So in this case,
∠BAC + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180°
Substituting the values from equation(i) and given criteria, we get
80° + ∠ABC + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ 80° + 2∠ABC = 180°
⇒ 2∠ABC = 180° - 80°
⇒ 2∠ABC = 100°
⇒ ∠ABC = 50°
Substituting the above value in equation (i) we get
⇒∠ACB = ∠ABC = 50°
These are the required values of the angles.
