Step-by-step explanation:
☛Question:-
AD, BE and CF of triangle ABC are equal. Prove that ABC is an equilateral triangle.
☞Answer:-
Given:-
- AD,BE and CF are altitudes of triangle are equal.
To find:-
- ABC is an equilateral triangle.
Solution:-
In right-angle triangles BCE and CBF, we have,
BC = BC (common hypotenuse);
BE = CF (given).
Hence BCF and CBF are congruent, by RHS theorem. Comparing the triangles, we get ∠B=∠C.
This implies that
AC = AB (sides opposite to equal angles).
Similarly,
AD = BE ⇒∠B =∠A
⇒ AC = BC
✿Together, we get AB = BC = AC or △ABC is equilateral. [hence proved]
