One angle of an isosceles triangle is 90°. What are the other two angles?
Let in Δ ABC,
∠A = 90°
It is given that triangle is a isosceles triangle.
Case 1
Two equal angles both equal to 90°
If it happens, then sum of two equal angles will be = 90 + 90 = 180°
But, sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
Thus, the third angle = 180-180 = 0
But, this is not possible.
Case 2
Two equal angles other than right angle.
If ∠A = 90°
Let ∠B = ∠C = y°
Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
90 + y + y = 180°
90 + 2y = 180°
2y = 180-90
= 90
∴ ![]()
Hence the other 2 angles are 45°
