If the altitude from one vertex of a trianglebisects the opposite side, then the triangle is isosceles.GIVEN : A `A B C`such that the altitude `A D`from `A`on the opposite side `B C`bisects `B C`i.e., `B D=D Cdot`TO PROVE : `A B=A C`i.e. the triangle `A B C`is isosceles.

Answer» `BO=DC`
`In /_ABD and /_ACD`
`AD=AD`(common)
`/_ADB=/_ADC`(each 90)
`BD=CD`(given)
`/_ABD cong /_ACD`(SAS)
`AB=AC`
ABC is isosceles.
