from two points one on each leg of an isosceles triangle perpendicular are drawn to the base prove that the triangles formed are similar

Respuesta :

The description below proves that the perpendicular drawn from the vertex angle to the base bisect the vertex angle and base.

How to prove an Isosceles Triangle?

Let ABC be an isosceles triangle such that AB = AC.

Let AD be the bisector of ∠A.

We want to prove that BD=DC

In △ABD & △ACD

AB = AC(Thus, △ABC is an isosceles triangle)

∠BAD =∠CAD(Because AD is the bisector of ∠A)

AD = AD(Common sides)

By SAS Congruency, we have;

△ABD ≅ △ACD

By corresponding parts of congruent triangles, we can say that; BD=DC

Thus, this proves that the perpendicular drawn from the vertex angle to the base bisect the vertex angle and base.
