1.(i) $\small \Delta ABC$ and $\small \Delta DBC$ are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC and vertices A and D are on the same side of BC (see Fig.). If AD is extended to intersect BC at P, show that

S Sanket Gandhi

Consider $\Delta ABD$ and $\Delta ACD$ ,

(i) $AD\ =\ AD$ (Common)

(ii) $AB\ =\ AC$ (Isosceles triangle)

(iii) $BD\ =\ CD$ (Isosceles triangle)

Thus by SSS congruency we can conclude that :

$\small \Delta ABD\cong \Delta ACD$
