If <(ABC)= 90 degrees, does this mean that angle B is 90 degree? I've actually seen two different problems 1) Angle B is definitely 90 degree 2) You can't assume that. You just know that triangle made by the points A,B, and C make a 90 degree angle somewhere. Is there an official standard for GMAC?

In General, Yes. But depends on the diagram. If you were said in triangle ABC, angle ABC is 90 that means angle B of the triangle ABC is 90.

Yes, you cannot assume that because there might be another traingle inside ABC. See the image below DBC is another triangle residing inside ABC. If you say angle B it can either mean angle ABC which is 90, or mean angle DBC which is less than 90. Thus, if you were said in triangle ABC, angle ABC is 90 that means angle B of the triangle ABC is 90.

No, I dont think this kind of ambiguity will arise in GMAT.

I guess GMAT will explicitly mention which <B they are mentioning.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.
