Find the Angles in an Isosceles Right Triangle: 90-Degree Corner Analysis

Question

Look at the isosceles right triangle below. What are its angles?

00:00 Find the angles of the triangle

00:03 The sum of angles in a triangle equals 180

00:07 Given an isosceles triangle

00:11 A right angle equals 90

00:14 In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal

00:17 These angles are equal and sum to 180, therefore they equal 45

00:20 And this is the solution to the problem

Let's remember that the sum of angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees.

In a right triangle, there is one right angle equal to 90 degrees.

In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal to each other.

Therefore, we can calculate this in the following way:

$180-90=90$

$90:2=45$

In other words, the angle values in this triangle are: 90, 45, 45

90, 45, 45
