Correct Answer: 35°
Solution : Given, ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC $\angle$ ABC = 55° AD is the median to the base BC which bisects $\angle$BAC By angle sum property in $\triangle$ABC, $\angle$BAC + $\angle$ABC + $\angle$ACB = 180° or, $\angle$BAC + 55° + 55° = 180° or, $\angle$ BAC = 70° So, $\angle$BAD = $\angle$CAD = $\frac{1}{2}\angle$BAC or, $\angle$BAD= 35° Hence, the correct answer is 35°.

Question : In an isosceles $\triangle ABC$, AD is the median to the unequal side BC meeting at D, DP is the angle bisector of $\angle ADB$ and PQ is drawn parallel to BC meeting AC at Q. Then, the measure of $\angle PDQ$ is:
Question : In an isosceles $\triangle ABC$, $AB = AC$, $XY || BC$. If $\angle A=30°$, then $\angle BXY$?
Question : The vertical angle $\angle A$ of an isosceles $\triangle ABC$ is three times the angle B on it. The measure of the $\angle A$ is:
Question : ABC is a right angle triangle and $\angle ABC = 90^{\circ}$. BD is perpendicular on the side AC. What is the value of $(BD)^2$?
Question : In $\triangle$ABC, AB = $a - b$, AC = $\sqrt{a^2+b^2}$, and BC = $\sqrt{2ab}$, then find angle B.
