"Question 7 AB is a line segment and P is its mid-point. D and E are points on the same side of AB such that ∠BAD = ∠ABE and ∠EPA = ∠DPB (See the given figure). Show that (i) ΔDAP ≅ ΔEBP (ii) AD = BE

ASA(angle side angle):
Two Triangles are congruent if two angles and the included side of One triangle are equal to two angles & the included side of the other triangle.

Given:
P is mid-point of AB i.e, AP=BP
∠BAD = ∠ABE and ∠EPA = ∠DPB
To Prove:
i) ΔDAP ≅ ΔEBP
ii) AD=BE
Proof:
We have
(i) ∠EPA = ∠DPB (Adding ∠DPE both sides)
∠EPA + ∠DPE = ∠DPB + ∠DPE
⇒ ∠DPA = ∠EPB
In ΔDAP &
ΔEBP,
∠DPA = ∠EPB (proved above)
AP = BP (P is mid-point of AB)
∠BAD = ∠ABE (Given)
Hence, ΔDAP ≅ ΔEBP (by
ASA congruence rule.)
(ii) Since , ΔDAP ≅
ΔEBP
Then,AD = BE
( by CPCT)
