प्रश्न

A triangle ABC has ∠B = ∠C.

Prove that: The perpendiculars from B and C to the opposite sides are equal.

योग

उत्तर

Given: A ΔABC in which ∠B = ∠C.

BP is perpendicular from D to AC

CQ is the perpendicular from C to AB

We need to prove that

BP = CQ

Proof:

In ΔBPC and ΔCQB

∠B = ∠C                     ...[Given]

∠BPC = ∠CQB = 90     ...[BP AC and CQ AB]

BC = BC                  ...[Common]

∴ BY Angel-Angel-Side criterion of congruence,

ΔBPC ≅ ΔCQB

The corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent.

BP = CQ                   ...[c.p.c.t]
