Question

In the given figure if A C=BD then prove
That Ab=Cd
​

Answer 1

Here, we use axiom 3 which states that equals are subtracted from equals  then the remainders are also equal.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solution:

Given, AC = BD......(1)

 From the figure,

AC = AB + BC  &

BD = BC + CD

On putting these values in eq 1,

⇒ AB + BC = BC + CD

According to Euclid’s axiom, when equals are subtracted from equals, remainders are also equal.

On Subtracting BC from  both sides,

AB + BC – BC = BC + CD – BC

AB = CD                 [ by axiom 3 of Euclid]
