ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC. Draw AP ⊥ BC to show that ∠B = ∠C. Triangles, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

In △APB and △APC,

AB = AC (Given).

∠APB = ∠APC (Both are equal to 90°)

AP = AP (Common)

∴ △APB ≅ △APC by RHS axiom.

We know that corresponding angles of congruent triangles are equal.

∴ ∠B = ∠C.

Hence, proved that ∠B = ∠C.
