In triangle ABC, if angle A = 45 degrees and angle B = 45 degrees, what is the type of triangle?
Correct Answer: Isosceles Triangle
- Step 1: Identify the angles given in triangle ABC. We have angle A = 45 degrees and angle B = 45 degrees.
- Step 2: Recall that a triangle has three angles and the sum of all angles in a triangle is always 180 degrees.
- Step 3: Calculate the third angle (angle C) using the formula: angle C = 180 degrees - (angle A + angle B).
- Step 4: Substitute the values: angle C = 180 degrees - (45 degrees + 45 degrees) = 180 degrees - 90 degrees = 90 degrees.
- Step 5: Now we have angle A = 45 degrees, angle B = 45 degrees, and angle C = 90 degrees.
- Step 6: Since two angles (A and B) are equal, triangle ABC is classified as an isosceles triangle.
