In the figure, it is given that AC=BC,∠4=2 ∠1 and ∠3=2 ∠2. Prove that △ADC≅△BEC.
Answer:
- We are given that AC=BC,∠4=2 ∠1 and
∠3=2 ∠2.
- We need to find a triangle congruent to △ADC.
- In △ABC, we have AC=BC[Given]⟹∠CAB=∠CBA[Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]…(1) Also, ∠4=∠3[Vertically opposite angles]⟹2 ∠1=2 ∠2[As ∠4=2 ∠1 and ∠3=2 ∠2]⟹∠1=∠2…(2) Subtracting equation (2) from equation (1), we have ∠CAB−∠1=∠CBA−∠2⟹∠CAD=∠CBE…(3)
- In △ADC and △BEC, we have ∠ACB=∠ACB[Common]AC=BC[Given]∠CAD=∠CBE[From equation (3)]∴ △ACD≅△BCE[By ASA criterion]
- Thus, △ACD≅△BCE.
