Wired Faculty App

Prove that the angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal. Is the converse true? 

Solution

Given: A triangle ABC in which AB = AC
To Prove: ∠ABC = ∠ACB

Construction: Draw the bisector AD of A so as to intersect BC at D.
Proof: In ∆ADB and ∆ADC,
AD = AD    | Common
AB = AC    | Given
∠BAD = ∠CAD
| By Construction
∴ ∆ADB ≅ ∆ADC
| SAS congruence rule
∴ ∠ABD = ∠ACD    | CPCT
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB
Yes, the converse is true.
