PROVE that the circle drawn on any ONE of the equal sides of an isosceles triangle as diameter bisects the THIRD side of the triangle.

\huge{\underline{\underline{\sf{\orange{Solution:-}}}}}

{\blue{\sf\underline{Given}}}

A ∆ABC in which AB=AC an a circle is drawn with AB as diameter, intersecting BC at D.

{\pink{\sf\underline{To\:Prove}}}

BD=CD.

{\green{\sf\underline{Construction}}}

Join AD

{\orange{\sf\underline{Proof}}}

we have that an angle in a semicircle is a right angle.

∴ ∠ADB=90°. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀....(i)

Also, BDC being a straight LINE, we have

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀∠ADB+∠ADC = 180°

==>90°+∠ADC=180° ⠀⠀[Using (i) ]

==>∠ADC = 90°.

Now, in ∆ADB and ∆ADC , we have

AB=AC ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[given]

∠ADB = ∠ADC ⠀[each equal to 90°]

AD=AD ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀[common]

∴∆ADB ≅ ∆ADC⠀⠀⠀⠀ [by RHS-congruence].

Hence,BD=CD
