Question

In quadrilateral ABCD, side AB is congruent side AD. Bisector
of angle BAC cuts side BC at E and bisector
of angle DAC cuts side DC at F. Prove that segment EF
|| segment BD​

Answer 1

If AB = AD and the bisector of  ∠BAC and ∠DAC intersect the sides BC and DC at the points E and F respectively, then segment EF // segment BD is proved.

Step-by-step explanation:

Referring to the figure attached below,

Consider ΔABC and ΔACD,

AE is the bisector of ∠BAC

AF is the bisector of ∠CAD

We know that according to the internal bisector theorem which states that the angle bisector of a triangle divides the opposite sides in the ratio of sides consisting of the angles .

∴ AC/AB = CE/BE …….. (i)

And

AC/AD = CF/FD

⇒ AC/AB = CF/FD ……. [given side AB = side AD] …… (ii)

From eq. (i) & (ii), we get

CE/BE = CF/FD …. (iii)

Now,  

In ΔBCD we have -  

CE/BE = CF/FD ….. [from eq. (iii)]

We know that according to the converse of BPT theorem, if a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line should be parallel to its third side.

∴ segment EF // segment BD  

Hence Proved
