Answer:
Given :
• AB = AC
• The bisector of B and C intersects each other at O
To Prove :
I) OB = OC
II) AO bisects A
Proof :
I) ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC
C = B ( Angle opposite to the equal sides)
=> OCA + OCB = OBA + OBC
OB bisects B and OCA bisects C
=> OBA = OBC and OCA = OCB
=> OCB + OCB = OBC + OBC
=> 2OCB = 2OBC
=> OCB = OBC
Hence, OB = OC (Sides opposite to equal angles)
II) In ΔAOB and Δ AOC
AB = AC (Given)
OA = OA (Common)
OB = OC (Proved above)
Hence, ΔAOB ≈ ΔAOC ( by SSS)
OAB = OAC (CPCTC)
