AB = BC (given)

Since the measure of angle B equals the measure of angle C, AB = AC. Therefore, ABC is equilateral and mLA = mLB = mLC = mLB + mLC = mLB = + mLA.


Isn't that an isosceles triangle instead of an equilateral?


From what do you assume, sir, is not an equilateral triangle?

They just told AB = BC, not all the three sides are equal and angle b = angle C as before, not all three angles were equal.

the measure of angle B = the measure of angle C.

Therefore, . AB = BC (given) and AB = AC

AB=BC=AC. Equailateral
