Answers
Answer:
Given data:
ΔPQR is isosceles with PQ = PR
LM // QR with L on PQ and M on PR
To prove:
(i)∠Q = ∠R
(ii)∠PLM = ∠Q
(iii)∠PML = ∠R
(iv) ∠PLM = ∠PML
(v)Δ PLM is isosceles
Case 1:
In isosceles ∆ PQR,
Since PQ = PR and we know that the angles opposite to equal sides of triangle is equal .
∴ ∠Q = ∠R …… (i)
Case 2:
Since LM // QR and it is cut by two sides PQ and PR of the triangle.
So, if two parallel are cut by a transversal then the pair of corresponding angles are congruent.
∴ ∠PLM = ∠Q …… (ii)
And,
∠PML = ∠R …… (iii)
Case 3:
From (i), (ii) & (iii), we can say
∠PLM = ∠PML ….. (iv)
Case 4:
From (iv), we get
PL = PM ……. [∵ sides opposite to equal angles are equal]
∴ ∆ PLM is isosceles triangle ….. [∵ PLM is a triangle which has two of its sides PL and PM of equal length]
