Question

# In the given figure,  $$AB$$ and $$CD$$ are two parallel chords of a circle. if $$BDE$$ and $$ACE$$ are straight lines, intersecting at $$E$$, prove that $$\Delta AEB$$ is isosceles.

Solution

## $$AB$$ and $$CD$$ are parallel chords of circle. Line $$BD$$ and $$AC$$ intersect at point $$E$$.As we know that in a  cyclic quadrilateral, the exterior angle is equal to opposite interior angle thenExterior angle $$\angle CDE=\angle A,$$                             ......(1)Exterior angle $$\angle ECD=\angle B$$                             ......(2)Now, $$AB\parallel CD$$ then$$\angle A=\angle ECD$$    when $$AE$$ is tranversal,Hence,$$\angle A=\angle B.$$                     [By equation (2)]Also, we know in a triangle, opposite sides of equal angles are equal then $$AE=BE$$                     (in $$\triangle AEB$$ )Hence, $$\triangle AEB$$ is isosceles.MathematicsRS AgarwalStandard IX
