Question 16 In an isosceles triangle ABC, if AC = BC and AB2 = 2AC2 , then the measure of angle C will be (a) 30° (b) 45° (c) 60° (d) 90°
Given
AB2 = 2AC2
AB2 = AC2 + AC2
Putting AC = BC
AB2 = AC2 + BC2
Since this converse of Pythagoras theorem
It means Δ ABC is right angled triangle
With Hypotenuse AB
Since right angle is opposite to hypotenuse
∴ ∠ C = 90°
So, the correct answer is (d)
