Maths / Triangles / Congruence of Triangles By SAS Criteria

QUESTION
 

ABC is a triangle in which <B=2<C.D is a point on BC such that AD bisects <BAC and AB=CD Prove that <BAC=72^0 .

EXPLANATION

In Delta ABC,We have

<B=2<C Or,<B=2Y,Where <C=y

AD is the bisector of <BAC.So let <BAD=<CAD=x

let BP be the bisector of <ABC.JOIN PD.

In Delta BPC We have

<CBP=<BCP=y Rightarrow BP=PC

In Delta ABP and DCP,We have

<ABP=<DCP=y

AB=DC                        [Given]

and, BP=PC                             [As proved above]

So, by SAS congruence criterion,we have

Delta ABP cong Delta DCP

Rightarrow<BAP=<CDP and AP=DP

Rightarrow <CDP=2x and <ADP=DAP=x                 [because <A=2X]

In Delta ABD,We have

<ADC=<ABD+<BAD Rightarrowx+2x=2y+xRightarrowx=y

In Delta ABC, We have

<A+<B+<C=180^0

Rightarrow2x+2y+y=180^0          

Rightarrow 5x=180^0           [because X=Y]

Rightarrow x=36^0

Hence,<BAC=2X=72^0
