Through any point in the bisector of an angle, a straight line is drawn parallel to either arm of the angle. Prove that the triangle so formed is isosceles.

The sides AB and AC of a triangle ABC are produced; and the bisectors of the external angles at B and C meet at P. Prove that if AB > AC, then PC > PB.

Prove that the straight line joining the vertex of an isosceles triangle to any point in the base is smaller than either of the equal sides of the triangle.

In the following figure, ABC is an equilateral triangle and P is any point in AC;
prove that: BP > PA

From the following figure;

prove that:
(i) AB > BD
(ii) AC > CD
