A) Quantity A is greater.

D) The relationship cannot be determined from the information given.
If AB = AC, then angle B = angle C
We also know that angle A + angle B + angle C = 180 degrees
Let's test some possible cases.
One possibility is that the three angles are 10°, 10°, and 160°
This means angle B = 10° and angle C = 10°
We get:
Quantity A: 10° + 10° = 20°
Quantity B: 90°
In this case, Quantity B is greater.
Another possibility is that the three angles are 70°, 70°, and 40°
This means angle B = 70° and angle C = 70°
We get:
Quantity A: 70° + 70° = 140°
Quantity B: 90°
In this case, Quantity A is greater.
