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)

What is the defect in the above arguments?

[Hint: Recall how ∠B = ∠C is proved when AB = AC].
