Answer» Step-by-step explanation: Given; AB = CB AB = CD EF BISECTS BD at G. So, DG = BG; To Prove : G is the midpoint of EF or GE = GF. Construction: Join A and C with a straight line. Proof : In △ BAC; ∠CAB = ∠ACB (angles opposite to equal sides are equal) (i) In △ GDC and △GBC; GD = GB. (given) DC = BC. (given) GC = GC. (common) Therefore, △ GDC ≅ △GBC. (by SSS criteria of congruence) HENCE, ∠DGC = ∠BGC (C.P.C.T) ∠DCG = ∠BCG (C.P.C.T) (II) In △ GBC and △GBA; ∠CAB = ∠ACB (from eq. (i)) ∠AGB = ∠DGC (vertically opposute angle) AB = BC (given) Therefore, △ GBC ≅ △GBA (by AAS criteria of congruence) Hence, GC = AG (C.P.C.T) (iii) ∠BAG = ∠BCG (C.P.C.T) (iv) From equation (ii) and (iv); ∠DCG = ∠BAG. (v)
∠BAG = ∠GAF (vi) ∠DCG = ∠GCE. (VII) Now, in △CGE and △AGF; ∠GAF = ∠GCE. (from equation (v), (vi) and (vii)) AG = GC. (from equation (iii)) ∠AGF = ∠CGE. (vertically opposite angle)
Therefore, △CGE ≅ △AGF (by ASA criteria of congruence) Hence, GE = GF. (by C.P.C.T) That's all.
