Question

In △ABC, BD ⊥ AC, ∠CAE = 30° and ∠CBD = 40°. Then ∠AEB =?

Answer 1

AC = AD

and AB being the bisector of ∠A.

Now, in ΔABC and ΔABD,

AC = AD

[Given]

AB = AB

[Common]

∠CAB = ∠DAB [∴ AB bisects ∠CAD]

∴ Using SAS criteria, we have

ΔABC ≌ ΔABD.

∴ Corresponding parts of congruent triangles (c.p.c.t) are equal.

∴ BC = BD.
