Eating a poor quality diet high in junk food is linked to a higher risk of obesity, depression, digestive issues, heart disease and stroke, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and early death. And as you might expect, frequency matters when it comes to the impact of junk food on your health.
As we have an isosceles triangle ABC with AB = AC, where D and E are points on BC such that BE = CD and we need to prove that the sides AD and AE are equal i.e. AD = AE.
So, we have
AB = AC……………..(i)
BE = CD…………….(ii)
Now, we know the property of triangles that opposite angles of the opposite sides are equal if sides are equal. It means ∠B∠B and ∠C∠C will be equal as opposite sides of ∠B∠B and ∠C∠C i.e. AC and AB, are equal. Hence, we get
∠B=∠C...............(iii)
And from equation (ii), we (iii) have BE = CD
Now, subtract DE from both sides of terms of the above equation. So, we get
BE – DE = CD – DE
Now, we can observe that the diagram is replaced by side BD and CD – DE by side CE. Hence, we get above equation as
BD = CE………………….(iv)
Now, in ΔABDΔABDand ΔAEC , we have
AB = AC (from equation (i))
∠B=∠C (from equation (iii))
BD = CE (from equation (iv))
Hence, ΔABDis congruent to ΔAECby SAS criteria of congruence. So, we get
ΔABD≅ΔAEC
So, now all the corresponding sides and angles of triangles ABD and ACE are equal by the C.P.C.T property of congruent triangles.
Hence, we get
AD = AE ( C.P.C.T)
So, it proved that AD and AE are equal.
Note: Another approach for proving AD = AE, we can prove the triangles ABE and ADE as congruent triangle in the following way:
AB = AC
BE = DC
∠B=∠C
By SAS criteria ΔABE≅ΔADC.So, it can be another approach. Getting the equation ∠B=∠C∠B=∠C is the key point for proving the triangles ABD and ACE to congruent problems and need to use property for getting it.
