AB is a line segment and P is its mid-point. D and E are points on the same side of AB such that ∠BAD = ∠ABE and ∠EPA = ∠DPB (see Fig. 7.22). Show that
AB is a line segment and P is its mid-point. D and E are points on the same side of AB such that ∠BAD = ∠ABE and ∠EPA = ∠DPB (see Fig. 7.22). Show that
(i) ΔDAP ≅ ΔEBP
(ii) AD = BE
Answer
Given,
P is mid-point of AB.
∠BAD = ∠ABE and ∠EPA = ∠DPB
(i) ∠EPA = ∠DPB (Adding ∠DPE both sides)
∠EPA + ∠DPE = ∠DPB + ∠DPE
⇒ ∠DPA = ∠EPB
In ΔDAP ≅ ΔEBP,
∠DPA = ∠EPB
AP = BP (P is mid-point of AB)
∠BAD = ∠ABE (Given)
Therefore, ΔDAP ≅ ΔEBP by ASA congruence condition.
(ii) AD = BE by CPCT.
