ABC is an isosceles triangle in which altitudes BE and CF are drawn to equal sides AC and AB respectively (see Fig. 7.31). Show that these altitudes are equal.
ABC is a triangle in which altitudes BE and CF to sides AC and AB are equal (see Fig). Show that
(i) ∆ ABE ≅ ∆ ACF
(ii) AB = AC, i.e., ABC is an isosceles triangle.
ABC and DBC are two isosceles triangles on the same base BC (see Fig). Show that ∠ABD = ∠ACD.
∆ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC. Side BA is produced to D such that AD = AB (see Fig. 7.34). Show that ∠ BCD is a right angle.
