Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Theorem 1: Angles opposite to the equal sides of an isosceles triangle are also equal.
Proof: Consider an isosceles triangle ABC where AC = BC.
We need to prove that the angles opposite to the sides AC and BC are equal, that is, ∠CAB = ∠CBA.
Isosceles Triangle
We first draw a bisector of ∠ACB and name it as CD.
Now in ∆ACD and ∆BCD we have,
AC = BC (Given)
∠ACD = ∠BCD (By construction)
CD = CD (Common to both)
Thus, ∆ACD ≅∆BCD (By SAS congruence criterion)
So, ∠CAB = ∠CBA (By CPCT)
Hence proved.
