D is any point on the extended side BC of the equilateral triangle ABC . AD is joined.
it is required to prove that ∠ BAD > ∠ADB.
ABC is equilateral triangle .
∴ BC = AB
BD = BC + CD
∴ BD > AB (*BC=AB)
∴ In ∆ABD, BD >AB
∴ ∠BAD >∠ADB ( Proved)...

In ∆ABC AB > AC ⇒ ∠ACB > ∠ABC …
(i) (∵ angle opposite to larger side is greater) Now in ∆ACD, CD is produced to B forming an ext ∠ADB. ∠ADB > ∠ACD (exterior angle of a A is greater than each interior opposite angle) ⇒ ∠ADB > ∠ACB …
(ii) ∠ACD = ∠ACB
From (i) and (ii)
∠ADB > ∠ABC ⇒ ∠ADB > ∠ABD [∵ ∠ABC = ∠ABD] ⇒ AB > AD [∵ side opposite to greater angle is larger]
Hence proved
