In the given figure, AC = AE, AB = AD and ∠BAD = ∠EAC. Show that BC = DE.

Open in App

Solution

It is given that ∠BAD = ∠EAC

∠BAD + ∠DAC = ∠EAC + ∠DAC

∠BAC = ∠DAE

In ΔBAC and ΔDAE,

AB = AD (Given)

∠BAC = ∠DAE (Proved above)

AC = AE (Given)

∴ ΔBAC ≅ ΔDAE (By SAS congruence rule)

∴ BC = DE (By CPCT)
