Question : If one angle of a triangle is equal to half the sum of the other two equal angles, then the triangle is:

Option 1: isosceles

Option 2: scalene

Option 3: equilateral

Option 4: right-angled

Team Careers360 · Accepted Answer

Correct Answer: equilateral

Solution : Let the two equal angles as $\alpha$ and the third angle as $\beta$.
According to the problem, $\beta$ is equal to half the sum of the other two angles.
$⇒\beta = \frac{1}{2}(2\alpha) = \alpha$
Hence, the angles are $\alpha, \alpha$, and $\alpha$.
So, each angle in the triangle is equal,
Therefore, this is an equilateral triangle.
Hence, the correct answer is 'equilateral'.
