Consider \Delta ABD   and   \Delta ACD , 

(i)  AB\ =\ AC               (Given)

(ii)  AD\ =\ AD              (Common in both triangles)

(iii)  \angle ADB\ =\ \angle ADC\ =\ 90^{\circ}

Thus by RHS axiom we can conclude that :

    \Delta ABD\ \cong \ \Delta ACD

Hence by c.p.c.t. we can say that  :         BD\ =\ CD      or        AD bisects BC.
