Question

triangle ABC is isosceles triangle with ab is equal to AC side BA reduce D that AB is equal to AC prove that angle abc is a right angle

Answer 1

Given: ∆ABC is an isosceles ∆.

AB = AC and AD = AB

To Prove:
∠BCD is a right angle.

Proof:
In ΔABC,
AB = AC (Given)
⇒ ∠ACB = ∠ABC (Angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.)

In ΔACD,

AD = AB

⇒ ∠ADC = ∠ACD (Angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.)

Now,

In ΔABC,

∠CAB + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180°
⇒ ∠CAB + 2∠ACB = 180°
⇒ ∠CAB = 180° – 2∠ACB — (i)

Similarly in ΔADC,

∠CAD = 180° – 2∠ACD — (ii)

also,

∠CAB + ∠CAD = 180° (BD is a straight line.)

Adding (i) and (ii)

∠CAB + ∠CAD = 180° – 2∠ACB + 180° – 2∠ACD
⇒ 180° = 360° – 2∠ACB – 2∠ACD
⇒ 2∠ACB + 2∠ACD= 360-180
⇒ 2(∠ACB + ∠ACD) = 180°
⇒ ∠BCD = 90°

Answer 2

Hello mate ^_^

__________________________/\_

$\bold\green{Solution:}$

AB=AC         (Given)

It means that ∠DBC=∠ACB           (In triangle, angles opposite to equal sides are equal)     

Let ∠DBC=∠ACB=x         .......(1)

AC=AD          (Given)

It means that ∠ACD=∠BDC         (In triangle, angles opposite to equal sides are equal)     

Let ∠ACD=∠BDC=y           ......(2)

In ∆BDC, we have

∠BDC+∠BCD+∠DBC=180°     (Angle sum property of triangle)

⇒∠BDC+∠ACB+∠ACD+∠DBC=180°

Putting (1) and (2) in the above equation, we get

y+x+y+x=180°

⇒2x+2y=180°

⇒2(x+y)=180°

⇒(x+y)=180/2=90°

Therefore, ∠BCD=90°

hope, this will help you.☺

Thank you______❤
