Question:
If the bisectors of the base angles of a triangle enclose an angle of 135°, prove that the triangle is a right angle.
Solution:
Given the bisectors of the base angles of a triangle enclose an angle of $135^{\circ}$
i.e., $\angle B O C=135^{\circ}$
But, We know that
$\angle \mathrm{BOC}=90^{\circ}+\frac{1}{2} \angle \mathrm{A}$
$\Rightarrow 135^{\circ}=90^{\circ}+\frac{1}{2} \angle \mathrm{A}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2} \angle \mathrm{A}=135^{\circ}-90^{\circ}$
⇒ ∠A = 45°(2)
⇒ ∠A = 90°
Therefore, ΔABC is a right angle triangle that is right angled at A.
