Given :
Triangle ABC in which ABD and ACE are equilateral triangles
To prove :
i ) < CAD = < BAE
ii ) CD = BE
Construction :
Join CD and BE
Proof :
let < BAC be x
ABD is equilateral triangle so each angle is 60°
<DAB + < BAC = < CAD
60° + x° = <CAD ................. ( i )
Triangle ACE is equilateral triangle , so each angle is 60 °
< EAC + < BAC = < BAE
60 + x° = <BAE ..................... ( i )
______________________________________
From i and ii we get <CAD = < BAE ( proved 1 )
2 ) To prove is CD = BE
Comparing Triangle DAC and triangle EAB
< DAC = < BAE ( From i and ii )
AD = AB ( given )
AC = AE ( given )
so now , Triangle DAC is congurent to triangle EAB by the rule SIDE . ANGLE . SIDE ( S.A.S )
so , CB = BE by C.P.C.T.C.E
Hence proved !
