In Fig. O is the centre of the circle, Bo is the bisector of ∠ABC. Show that AB = AC |

Answer» Given that, BO is the bisector of ∠ABC To prove : AB = BC Proof : ∠ABO = ∠CBO (BO bisector of ∠ABC) (i) OB = OA (Radii) Therefore, ∠ABO = ∠DAB (Opposite angle to equal sides are equal) (ii) OB = OC (Radii) Therefore, ∠CBO = ∠OCB (Opposite angles to equal sides are equal) (iii) Compare (i), (ii) and (iii) ∠OAB = ∠OCB (iv) In triangle OAB and OCB, we have ∠OAB = ∠OCB [From (iv)] ∠OBA = ∠OBC (Given) OB = OB (Common) By AAS congruence rule, Δ OAB ≅ Δ OCB AB = BC (By c.p.c.t) Hence, proved |
