In triangle BDC, which is isosceles, if angle is given, which other angle is congruent to ?
A
B
C
D
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that in an isosceles triangle, two sides are equal in length, and the angles opposite those sides are also equal (congruent).
Identify the triangle BDC and note which sides are equal to determine the two congruent angles.
Since angle \( \angle B \) is given, find the side opposite to \( \angle B \) in triangle BDC.
The angle opposite the side equal to the one opposite \( \angle B \) will be congruent to \( \angle B \).
Conclude that the angle congruent to \( \angle B \) is the one opposite the side equal to the side opposite \( \angle B \), which is \( \angle C \).
