ABC is a right angled triangle in which ∠A = 90° and AB = AC. Find ∠B and ∠C.

ABC is a right angled triangle in which ∠A = 90° and AB = AC. Find ∠B and ∠C.

Given,
∠A = 90° and AB = AC
A/q,
AB = AC 
⇒ ∠B = ∠C (Angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.)
Now,
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° (Sum of the interior angles of the triangle.)
⇒ 90° + 2∠B = 180°
⇒ 2∠B = 90° 
⇒ ∠B = 45°
Thus, ∠B = ∠C = 45°
