Prove that in an isosceles triangle the perpendicular drawn from the vertex angle to the base bisect the vertex angle and the base.
Answer
Let ABC be an isosceles triangle such that AB=AC.
Let AD be the bisector of ∠A.
To prove:- BD=DC
Proof:-
In △ABD&△ACD
AB=AC(∵△ABC is an isosceles triangle)
∠BAD=∠CAD(∵AD is the bisector of ∠A)
AD=AD(Common)
By S.A.S.-
△ABD≅△ACD
By corresponding parts of congruent triangles-
⇒BD=DC
Hence proved that the perpendicular drawn from the vertex angle to the base bisect the vertex angle and base.
