Answer:
Given: ∆ABC is an isosceles ∆.
AB = AC and AD = AB
To Prove:
∠BCD is a right angle.
Proof:
In ΔABC,
AB = AC (Given)
⇒ ∠ACB = ∠ABC (Angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.)
In ΔACD,
AD = AB
⇒ ∠ADC = ∠ACD (Angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.)
Now,
In ΔABC,
∠CAB + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠CAB + 2∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠CAB = 180° – 2∠ACB — (i)
Similarly in ΔADC,
∠CAD = 180° – 2∠ACD — (ii)
also,
∠CAB + ∠CAD = 180° (BD is a straight line.)
Adding (i) and (ii)
∠CAB + ∠CAD = 180° – 2∠ACB + 180° – 2∠ACD
⇒ 180° = 360° – 2∠ACB – 2∠ACD
⇒ 2∠ACB + 2∠ACD= 360-180
⇒ 2(∠ACB + ∠ACD) = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 90°
=========================================
Hope this will help you...

Given :-
- ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB=AC.
- Side BA is produced to D such that AD=AB.
To prove :-
- /_BCD is right angle.
Proof :-
️ ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB=AC.
=> /_ABC = /_ACB = x (say)
Now, AD = AB & AB = AC
=>AD = AC
=> /_ACD = /_ADC = y (say)
Now, in ️ BCD
Using angle sum property of triangle
/_BCD + /_DBC + /_BDC = 180°
x + y + y + x = 180°
2(x + y) = 180°
=> x + y = 90°
=> /_BCD = 90°
