Explanation:
Since the angles opposite to equal sides are equal,
∴AB=AC
⇒∠C=∠B
⇒ 2∠B
= 2∠C
.
Since BO and CO are bisectors of ∠B and ∠C, we also have
∠ABO=
2
∠B
and ∠ACO= 2∠C
.
∠ABO= 2∠B
= 2∠C
=∠ACO.
Consider △BCO:
∠OBC=∠OCB
⇒BO=CO .... [Sides opposite to equal angles are equal]
Finally, consider triangles ABO and ACO.
BA=CA ... (given);
BO=CO .... (proved);
∠ABO=∠ACO (proved).
Hence, by S.A.S postulate
△ABO≅△ACO
⇒∠BAO=∠CAO⇒AO bisects ∠A.
