Answer:
An angle opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle is equal.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
An Isosceles triangle ABC, where the length of side AB equals the length of side AC.
To prove : AB = AC
Construction:
Let us draw the bisector of ∠A
Proof:
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 of a triangle)
So, ∆BAD ≅ ∆CAD (By SAS rule)
So, ∠ABD = ∠ACD (CACT)
So, ∠B = ∠C
Hence, Proved that an angle opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle is equal.
