In $\triangle A B C, \mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{AC}$ and $\angle B=50^{\circ}$. Then $\angle C$ is equal to
(A) $40^{\circ}$
(B) $50^{\circ}$
(C) $80^{\circ}$
(D) $130^{\circ}$
Solution.
We know that angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal
$ AB = AC$
Since $\angle B$ is opposite to side $A C$ and $\angle C$ is opposite to side $A B$
$
\therefore \angle B=\angle C=50^{\circ}\left(\because \angle B=50^{\circ} \text { given }\right)
$
Hence option (B) is correct.
