We are given that ΔABC is isosceles with AB ≅ AC. Using the definition of congruent line segments, we know that .
Let’s assume that angles B and C are not congruent. Then one angle measure must be greater than the other. If m∠B is greater than m∠C, then AC is greater than AB by the .
However, this contradicts the given information that . Therefore, , which is what we wished to prove.
