Given:

ABC is an isosceles triangle.

 \(\angle ABC\) = 55°

AD is a median to BC.

Concept used:

Screenshot 2023-02-28 104648

As, AD is a median to BC, \(\angle BDA\) = 90°

Calculation:

In the right-angle triangle BAD,

BDA + ∠BAD + ∠ABD = 180°

90° + ∠BAD + 55° = 180°

∠BAD = 35° 

 ∴ The measure of \(\bf \angle BAD\) is 3.
