Given: in an isosceles triangle ABC, bisecrors of B and C intersect at O. join A to O.
To Prove: OB= OC
AO BISECTS <A
PROOF: in triangle AOB AND AOC
AB = AC ( GIVEN)
< ABO = < ACO ( O bisects < B and<C)
AO = AO( COMMON)
》triangle AOB is congruent to AOC
( by SAS rule)
OB = OC ( BY CPCT)
< OAB = < OAC( BY CPCT)
》 AO bisects < A
Hence proved

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.
