The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about triangle ABC. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Given Information:** We are given that in triangle ABC, \( AB^2 + AC^2 = BC^2 \) and \( BC = \sqrt{2} \cdot AB \). 2. **Identifying the Type of Triangle:** The equation \( AB^2 + AC^2 = BC^2 \) indicates that triangle ABC is a right triangle (by the Pythagorean theorem). The right angle is at vertex A. 3. **Substituting the Lengths:** Let's denote \( AB = x \). Then, from the second equation, we have: \[ BC = \sqrt{2} \cdot x \] 4. **Using the Pythagorean Theorem:** Since \( AB^2 + AC^2 = BC^2 \), substituting the lengths we have: \[ x^2 + AC^2 = (\sqrt{2} \cdot x)^2 \] This simplifies to: \[ x^2 + AC^2 = 2x^2 \] 5. **Solving for AC:** Rearranging the equation gives: \[ AC^2 = 2x^2 - x^2 = x^2 \] Taking the square root of both sides, we find: \[ AC = x \] 6. **Conclusion about the Triangle:** Since \( AB = AC = x \), triangle ABC is an isosceles right triangle (with angles 45°-45°-90°). 7. **Finding Angle ABC:** In an isosceles right triangle, the angles opposite the equal sides are equal. Therefore: \[ \angle ABC = \angle ACB = 45^\circ \] And since the angles in a triangle sum up to 180°, we have: \[ \angle A + \angle ABC + \angle ACB = 180^\circ \] \[ 90^\circ + 45^\circ + 45^\circ = 180^\circ \] 8. **Final Answer:** Therefore, the angle \( \angle ABC \) is \( 45^\circ \).
