Question

triangle abc is isosceles. what is true about the measure of angle b? it is twice the measure of angle a. it is twice the measure of angle c. it is equal to the measure of angle a. it is equal to the measure of angle c.

Explanation:

In an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal. From the diagram, sides \( AB \) and \( AC \) have markings indicating they are equal? Wait, no, looking at the triangle, sides \( BC \) and... Wait, the markings are on \( AB \) and \( AC \)? Wait, no, the triangle has \( A \) connected to \( C \) and \( A \) connected to \( B \), with \( B \) and \( C \) connected. Wait, the markings: the two segments from \( A \) to \( C \) and \( A \) to \( B \)? No, wait, the diagram shows that \( AB \) and \( AC \)? Wait, no, the equal sides are \( AB \) and \( AC \)? Wait, no, the right angle? Wait, no, the triangle has \( \angle B \) and \( \angle C \): wait, the sides \( AB \) and \( AC \) – no, the markings are on \( AB \) and \( AC \)? Wait, no, the correct approach: in an isosceles triangle, the angles opposite equal sides are equal. Looking at the triangle, sides \( AB \) and \( AC \) – no, wait, the sides \( BC \) and... Wait, the diagram: points \( B \) and \( C \) are connected, and \( A \) is connected to both. The markings (the tick marks) are on \( AB \) and \( AC \)? No, wait, the two segments from \( A \) to \( B \) and \( A \) to \( C \) – no, the tick marks are on \( AB \) and \( AC \)? Wait, no, the correct observation: the sides \( AB \) and \( AC \) – no, wait, the sides \( BC \) and... Wait, the triangle has \( \angle B \) and \( \angle C \): if the sides \( AB \) and \( AC \) are equal? No, wait, the tick marks are on \( AB \) and \( AC \)? Wait, no, the diagram shows that \( AB \) and \( AC \) have the same length? No, wait, the tick marks are on \( AB \) and \( AC \)? Wait, no, the correct is: in triangle \( ABC \), if \( AB = AC \), then angles opposite them (angles \( C \) and \( B \)) would be equal. Wait, no: side \( AB \) is opposite angle \( C \), side \( AC \) is opposite angle \( B \). So if \( AB = AC \), then angle \( C = \) angle \( B \). So angle \( B \) is equal to angle \( C \).

Answer:

It is equal to the measure of angle C.
