Solution
The problem states that Daniel drew a right-angled triangle with two equal-length sides. This type of triangle is called an isosceles right triangle.
Solution:
In a right triangle, the sum of all angles is 180°, and one angle is always 90° (the right angle). Since the other two sides are equal, the angles opposite these sides must also be equal.
Let the angles be:
- (right angle)
The total sum of angles in the triangle is:
Simplifying:
Subtract :
Divide by 2:
Final Answer:
The three angles in the triangle are:
- (the right angle)
