One angle of an isosceles triangle is 60°. What are the other two angles?
Let in Δ ABC,
∠A = 60°
It is given that triangle is a isosceles triangle.
Case 1
Two equal angles both equal to 60°
If it happens, then sum of two equal angles will be = 60 + 60 = 120°
But, sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
Thus, the third angle = 180-120 = 60
Hence, other two angles are 60° each.
Case 2
Two equal angles other than given angle (∠A)
If ∠A = 60°
Let ∠B = ∠C = y°
Sum of all angles of a triangle is 180°
∴ ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
60 + y + y = 180°
60 + 2y = 180°
2y = 180-60
= 120
∴ ![]()
Hence the other 2 angles are also 60°
Hence, in both the cases the triangle is equilateral (each angle = 60°)
