Answer
Given that Δ ABC is isosceles, ∠ BAC = ∠ BCA.
Let ∠BAC = ∠BCA = x.
Using the angle sum property of a triangle, which states that the sum of all angles in a triangle is 180°:
⇒ ∠BAC + ∠BCA + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ x + x + 90° = 180°
⇒ 2x + 90° = 180°
⇒ 2x = 180° - 90°
⇒ 2x = 90°
⇒ x =
⇒ x = 45°
Hence, ∠BAC = 45°.
Hence, option 2 is the correct option.
