In an equilateral triangle ABC, if AD⊥BC, then:
ANSWER
△ABC is a equilateral triangle.
Thus, AB=BC=AC and∠ABC=∠BAC=∠ACB=60
∠ADB=∠ADC=90
In △ABD,∠BAD+∠ABD+∠ADB=180
⇒∠BAD=180−90−60=30
Similarly for △ACD,∠CAD+∠ACD+∠ADC=180
⇒∠CAD=180−90−60=30
Now, In △ABD and △ACD
AB=AC
∠BAD=∠CAD
AD=AD(Common side)
Thus, △ABD and △ACD are congruent.(SAS)
Therefore BD=DC=
