Solution

It is given that

, and

And.

We have to prove is isosceles.

To prove is isosceles we will prove

For this we have to prove

Now comparing and we have

(Given)

(Common side)

So, by right hand side congruence criterion we have

So (since sides opposite to equal angle are equal)

Hence is isosceles.
