show that in an isosceles triangle, Angle opposites to equal sides are equal.
Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us draw the bisector of ∠A
Let D be the point of intersection of this bisector of ∠A and BC.
Therefore ,by construction ∠BAD = ∠CAD.
In ∆BAD and ∆DAC,
AB = AC (Given)
∠BAD = ∠CAD (By construction)
AD = AD (Common side in both triangle)
So, ∆BAD ≅ ∆CAD (By SAS rule)
So, ∠ABD = ∠ACD, since they are corresponding angles of congruent triangles.
So, ∠B = ∠C
Hence, Proved that an angle opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle is equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let △ABC be an isosceles triangle such that AB =AC Then we have to prove that ∠B=∠C Draw the bisector AD of ∠A meeting BC in D
Now in triangles ABD and ACD We have AB=AC (Given)
∠BAD=∠CAD (because AD is bisector of ∠A
AD=AD (Common side)
Therefore by SAS congruence condition we have
△ABC≅△ACD
⇒∠B=∠C
(Corresponding parts of congruent triangles are equal )
