Question -

╬ФABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC. Side BA isproduced to D such that AD = AB (see the given figure). Show that тИаBCD is a right angle.



Answer -

In ╬ФABC,

AB = AC (Given)

тЗТ тИаACB = тИаABC (Angles opposite to equal sides of atriangle are also equal)

In ╬ФACD,

AC = AD

тЗТ тИаADC = тИаACD (Angles opposite to equal sides of atriangle are also equal)

In ╬ФBCD,

тИаABC + тИаBCD + тИаADC = 180┬║(Angle sum property of a triangle)

тЗТ тИаACB + тИаACB +тИаACD + тИаACD = 180┬║

тЗТ 2(тИаACB + тИаACD) = 180┬║

тЗТ 2(тИаBCD) = 180┬║

тЗТ тИаBCD = 90┬║
