In quadrilateral ACBD, AC = AD and AB bisects ∠A (see figure). Show that ∆ABC ≅ ∆ABD. What can you say about BC and BD?


Given: In quadrilateral ACBD, AC = AD and AB bisects ∠A.
To Prove: ∆ABC ≅ ∆ABD.
Proof: In ∆ABC and ∆ABD,
AC = AD    | Given
AB = AB    | Common
∠CAB = ∠DAB
| ∵ AB bisects ∠A
∴ ∠ABC ≅ ∠ABD    | SAS Rule
∴ BC = BD    | C.P.C.T,

Line I is the bisector of an angle ∠A and B is any point on I. BP and BQ are perpendiculars from B to the arms of ∠A (see figure). Show that:
(i) ∆APB ≅ ∆AQB
(ii) BP = BQ or B is equidistant from the arms of ∠A.


I and m are two parallel lines intersected by another pair of parallel lines p and q (see figure). Show that ∆ABC ≅ ∆CDA.


ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AD = BC and ∠DAB = ∠CBA (see figure). Prove that:

(i) ∆ABD ≅ ∆BAC
(ii) BD = AC
(iii) ∠ABD = ∠BAC.


AD and BC are equal perpendiculars to a line segment AB (see figure). Show that CD bisects AB.
