Answer:
Given: In the isosceles ∆XYZ, XY = XZ.
To prove ∠XYZ = ∠XZY.
Construction: Draw a line XM such that it bisects ∠YXZ and meets the side YZ at M.
Proof:
Statement
1. In ∆XYM and ∆XZM,
(i) XY = XZ. (Given.)
(ii) XM = XM. (Common side.)
(iii) ∠YXM = ∠ZXM. ( XM bisects ∠YXZ.)
2. ∆XYM ≅ ∆XZM. (By SAS criterion.)
By CPCTC.
3. ∠XYZ = ∠XZY. (Proved)
