उत्तर
Given that PQR is a triangle such that PQ = PRand S is any point on the side PQ and ST ||QR.
We have to prove PS = PT
Since, PQ =PR⇒ΔPQR is isosceles
⇒ ∠Q= ∠R(or) ∠PQR= ∠ PRQ
Now,
∠PST=∠PQR and ∠PTS=∠PRQ [Corresponding angles as STllQR ]
Since, ∠PQR=∠PRQ⇒∠PST=∠PTS
Now, In ΔPST,∠PST=∠PTS
⇒ ΔPST is an isosceles triangle
⇒ PS=PT

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