Answer:
AA' = BB' = CC'
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
On sides, AB, BC, and AC of triangle ABC, equilateral triangle ABC', BCA', and CAB' are drawn.
To Find,
Prove that AA' = BB' = CC'
Solution,
In ΔACA' and triangle B'CB;
AC = B'C ....( Sides of an equilateral triangle ACB' )
A'C = BC......( Sides of an equilateral triangle BCA')
Therefore,
∠ACA' = ∠B'CB .......[ ∠ACA' = ∠ACB + ∠BCA' = ∠ACB + 60
∠B'CB = ∠ACB + ∠B'CA = ∠ACB + 60 ]
Therefore by SAS congruency:
ΔACA' ≅ ΔB'CB
and thus, by CPCT, AA' = BB'...........(1)
similarly, we can show that AA' = CC'..............(2)
therefore,
AA' = BB' = CC'
Hence Proved.
