Answer:
Construction : Take a point D on the extended
seg AB such that AB = BD. Draw seg DC.
Proof : A ABC and A DBC
seg AB seg DB .........
ZABC - ZDBC.......
seg BC seg BC ...........
..A ABC = A DBC
Fig. 3.30
.. ZBAC ZBDC ........ (c.ac.t.)
In A ABC, ZBAC = 60°. ZBDC = 60°
ZDAC = ZADC = ZACD = 60°..., sum of angles of A ADC is 180°
HA ADC is an equilateral triangle.
.. AC = AD-DC ........ corollary of converse of isosceles triangle theorem
But AB AD...... construction
