Given,
AB = AC
BD = DC
To prove,
ΔADB ≅ ΔADC
Proof,
In the right triangles ADB and ADC, we have:
Hypotenuse AB = Hypotenuse AC (given)
BD = DC (given)
AD = AD (common)
∴ ΔADB ≅ ΔADC
By SSS congruence property:
∠ADB = ∠ADC (corresponding parts of the congruent triangles) … (1)
∠ADB and ∠ADC are on the straight line.
∴∠ADB + ∠ADC =180o
∠ADB + ∠ADB = 180o
2 ∠ADB = 180o
∠ADB = 180/2
∠ADB = 90o
From (1): ∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90o
(ii) ∠BAD = ∠CAD (∵ corresponding parts of the congruent triangles)
