the equal sides AB and AC of an isosceles triangle ABC are produced to D and E respectively. the bisectors of the angles CBD and angle BCE meet at O. prove that triangle OBC has two equal sides.
Answers
Given : the equal sides AB and AC of an isosceles triangle ABC are produced to D and E respectively. the bisectors of the angles CBD and angle BCE meet at O
To find: prove that triangle OBC has two equal sides.
Solution:
AB = AC
=> ∠B = ∠C
∠CBD = ∠A + ∠B ( Exterior angle of triangle = Sum of opposite two interior angles)
∠BCE = ∠A + ∠C ( Exterior angle of triangle = Sum of opposite two interior angles)
∠B = ∠C
Adding ∠A on Both sides
=> ∠A + ∠B = ∠A + ∠C
=> ∠CBD = ∠BCE
the bisectors of the angles CBD and angle BCE meet at O
=> ∠CBO = (1/2) ∠CBD
& ∠BCO = (1/2) ∠BCE
∠CBD = ∠BCE
=> (1/2) ∠CBD = (1/2) ∠BCE
=> ∠CBO = ∠BCO
=> OB = OC
QED
Hence Proved
triangle OBC has two equal sides.
