उत्तर
ED is a straight line segment and B and C are points on it.
`⇒∠EBC = ∠BCD = straight angle = 180^@``
⇒∠EBA+∠ABC = ∠ACB +∠ACD
⇒∠EBA = ∠ACD +=ACB -∠ABC
⇒∠EBA=∠ACD [From (1) ∠ABC =∠ACD]
⇒∠ABE = ∠ACD
∴Hence proved

ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and D is a point on BC such that AD ⊥ BC (Figure). To prove that ∠BAD = ∠CAD, a student proceeded as follows:

In ∆ABD and ∆ACD,
AB = AC (Given)
∠B = ∠C (Because AB = AC)

Therefore, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD (AAS)
So, ∠BAD = ∠CAD (CPCT)
