In the given figure, AD/DB=
AE/EC
and angle ADE = angle ACB.
Prove that triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Answers
Answer:
AD/DB=AE/EC
So by using basic proportionality theorem
we get DE parallel to BC
So angle ADE is equal to angle DBC(corresponding angles)
and angle ADE is equal to angleECB
so angleABC is equal to angle ECB
So opposite angles are equal .So opposite sides are equal .There fore it is a isosceles triangle
Step-by-step explanation:
Given- In triangle ABC,
AB/DB=AE/EC and angle ADE=angle ACB.
To prove- ABC is isosceles triangle.
Const- -
Proof- AB/DB=AE/EC-(GIVEN)
DE||BC- (Converse of thales theorem)
angle ADE =angle ABC
(corresponding angles)
Then,angle ADB=ABC=ACB
angle ABC =angle ACB
Base angles are equal then AB=AC
So, triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle.
