in an isosceles triangle ABC with AB = AC, THE BISECTOR OF ANGLE B and ANGLE C intersect each other at o join A to O. Show that OB =OC AND AO bisects angle A
Answers
Answer:
,
Step-by-step explanation:
OB=OA
given :-
AB=AC. (1)
OB IS THE BISECTOR OG ANGLE B
SO, ANGLE ABO=ANGLE OBC=1/2 ANGLE B. (2)
OC IS THE BISECTOR OF ANGLE C
SO, ANGLE AOC =ANGLE OCB=1/2ANGLE C. (3)
TO PROVE:- OB=OC
PROOF:
SINCE, AB=AC
Angle ACB=Angle abc (angle opposite to equal sides are equal)
1/2 angle aACB=1/2angleABC
Angle OCB=angle OBC ( from (1) and (2))
Hence, OB=oc ( sides opposite to equal angles are equal)
Hence proved
AO bisect angle A
Step-by-step explanation:
Solution:-
Solution:-Given:-
AB = AC and
the bisectors of B and C intersect each other at O
(i) Since ABC is an isosceles with AB = AC,
B = C
½ B = ½ C
⇒ OBC = OCB (Angle bisectors)
∴ OB = OC (Side opposite to the equal angles are equal.)
(ii) In ΔAOB and ΔAOC,
AB = AC (Given in the question)
AO = AO (Common arm)
OB = OC (As Proved Already)
So, ΔAOB ΔAOC by SSS congruence condition.
BAO = CAO (by CPCT)
Thus, AO bisects A.
