Solution

Steps : 2 Marks
Application of theorem: 1 Mark
Proof : 1 Mark

As given in question ΔAEC and ΔDBF are equilateral so angle made at vertexes =60

AEC=AMB=60 (Corresponding Angles) because FBEC.


Similarly ACE=ANM=60 (Corresponding Angles).

For ΔAMN, from above two conditions, we find out the remaining two angles AMB and ANM=60

Hence all angles of ΔAMN are equal to 60.

Now consider ΔBNO, FBD=60 (it is the vertex of equilateral triangle) and BNO=60 (vertically

Opposite Angles)

BON=60 (Angle sum property of triangle). Hence ΔBNO is also equilateral.

Similarly we can prove it for remaining triangle.
