AB is a line segment and P is its mid-point. D and E are points on the same side of AB such that BAD = ABE and EPA = DPB (see Fig. 7.22). Show that

(i) Δ DAP Δ EBP


(ii) AD = BE


It is given in the question that:

P is the mid-point of AB


BAD = ABE and,


EPA = DPB


(i) EPA = DPB (Adding DPE both sides)


EPA + DPE = DPB + DPE


DPA = EPB


In


DPA = EPB


AP = BP (P is the mid-point of AB)


BAD = ABE (Given)


Therefore,


By ASA congruence,



(ii) AD = BE (By c.p.c.t)
