5. In quadrilateral ABCD, AD=CD andAB=CD and

Answer»

Given A quadrilateral ABCD in which AB=AD and the bisectors of ∠BAC and ∠CAD meet the sides BC and CD at E and F respectively.

To prove EF||BD

Construction Join AC, BD and EF.

Proof In △CAB, AE is the bisector of ∠BAC.

AB

AC

=

BE

CE

.......(i)

In △ACD, AF is the bisector of ∠CAD.

AD

AC

=

DF

CF

AB

AC

=

DF

CF

[∵ AD=AB]........(ii)

From (i) and (ii), we GET

BE

CE

=

DF

CF

EB

CE

=

FD

CF

Thus, in △CBD, E and F divide the sides CB and CD respectively in the same ratio. Therefore, by the converse of Thale's Theorem, we have

EF∣∣BD
