In Fig. 7.21, AC = AE, AB = AD and∠ BAD = ∠ EAC. Show that BC = DE.
It is given in the question that:
AC = AE
AB = AD and,
∠BAD = ∠EAC
To show: BC = DE
Proof:
∠BAD = ∠EAC (Adding ∠DAC both sides)
∠BAD + ∠DAC = ∠EAC + ∠DAC
∠BAC = ∠EAD
In
AC = AE (Given)
∠BAC = ∠EAD
AB = AD (Given)
Therefore,
By SAS congruence,
BC = DE (By c.p.c.t)
