A, B, and C are the midpoints of LM, MN, and NL,
respectively. What is the congruence condition that
proves CAM ~=ACN?

Given: Δ LMN is an isosceles triangle, m∠LMN = m∠LNM
And, LP bisects angle NLQ.
Prove: LP ║ MN
Now, In triangle LMN,
m∠LMN + m∠LNM+ m∠MLN = 180° (By the property of triangle)
⇒ m∠LMN + m∠LMN + m∠MLN = 180° ( Here, m∠M = m∠N )
⇒ 2 m∠LMN + m∠MLN = 180° -------(1)
Now, LP bisects angle NLQ.
⇒ m∠PLN =m∠QLP ( by the property of angle bisector)
Since, m∠QLP + m∠PLN + m∠MLN = 180° ( sum of all angles on a straight line)
m∠QLP + m∠QLP + m∠MLN = 180°
2 m∠QLP + m∠MLN = 180°
⇒ m∠MLN = 180°- 2 m∠QLP --------(2)
From equation (1) and (2),
2 m∠LMN + 180°- 2 m∠QLP = 180°
2 m∠LMN - 2 m∠QLP = 0
2 m∠LMN = 2 m∠QLP
m∠LMN = m∠QLP
⇒ ∠LMN ≅ ∠QLP
Thus, By the inverse of corresponding angle theorem,
LP ║ MN
