Question : In an isosceles triangle $ABC$, $AB = AC$ and $\angle A = 80^\circ$. The bisector of $\angle B$ and $\angle C$ meet at $D$. The $\angle BDC$ is equal to:

Option 1: $90^\circ$

Option 2: $100^\circ$

Option 3: $130^\circ$

Option 4: $80^\circ$

Team Careers360 12th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: $130^\circ$


Solution :
Given: $ABC$ is an isosceles triangle and $AB = AC$.
Let $\angle B=\angle C=x$
$\angle A+\angle B+\angle C = 180^\circ$
⇒ $80^\circ+x+x = 180^\circ$
⇒ $2x = 180^\circ-80^\circ$
⇒ $2x = 100^\circ$
⇒ $x = 50^\circ$
So, $\angle B = \angle C = 50^\circ$
