Question
In the following figure, AB = AC and AD is perpendicular to BC. BE bisects angle B and EF is perpendicular to AB.
Prove that: BD = CD

Solution
In ΔADB and ΔADC,
∠ADB = ∠ADC ...(Since AD is perpendicular to BC)
AB = AC ...(given)
AD = AD ...(common side)
∴ ΔADB ≅ ΔADC ...(RHS congruence criterion)
⇒ BD = CD ...(cpct)
