Refer to the figure I have attached
Triangle ABC is isosceles, in which, AB = AC
AD bisects Angle A
In Triangles ABD and ACD:
Angle B = Angle C (Angles opposite to equal sides of an isosceles triangle)
Angle BAD = Angle DAC (AD bisects Angle A)
AB = AC (Triangle ABC is isosceles, Given)
Thus, Triangle ABD is congruent to Triangle ACD by ASA criterion of congruence
Therefore,
=》 BD = DC (C.P.C.T.)
=》 Angle ADB = Angle ADC (C.P.C.T.)
=》Angle ADB + Angle ADC = 180° (Linear Pair, BC is a straigt line)
=》2 (Angle ADB) = 180°
=》 Angle ADB =
=》 Angle ADB = 90°
Thus, AD bisects the base angle at right angle.
Hope it Helps!! :)
