    Important Theorem of Triangles (Part 2)

    Theorem 1: The angles opposite to two equal sides of a triangle are equal.

    Given: Let a \triangle A B C\text{ in which }A B=A C

    To prove: \angle B=\angle C

    Construction: Draw AD, the bisector of \angle A, to meet BC in D.

    Proof: 

    {\color{Blue} \text{In } \triangle A B D\text{ and }\triangle A C D,\text{ we have,}}

    {\color{Blue} A B=A C \quad(\text { given })}

    {\color{Blue} AD=AD \quad(\text { common })}

    {\color{Blue} \angle B A D=\angle C A D \quad(\text { by construction })}

    {\color{Blue} \therefore \quad \triangle A B D \cong \triangle A C D \quad \text { (SAS-criteria) } }

    {\color{Blue} \text{Hence}, \;\;\angle B=\angle C \quad ( \text{ Corresponding parts of Congruent triangles }) }

     

    Theorem 2 (Converse of Theorem 2): If two angles of a triangle are equal then the sides opposite to them are also equal..

    Given: Let a \triangle A B C\text{ in which }\angle B=\angle C

    To prove: A B=A C

    Construction: Draw AD, the bisector of \angle A, to meet BC at D.

    Proof: 

    {\color{Blue} \text{In } \triangle A B D\text{ and }\triangle A C D,\text{ we have,}}

    {\color{Blue} \angle B=\angle C \quad(\text { given })}

    {\color{Blue} \angle B A D=\angle C A D \quad(\text { by construction })}

    {\color{Blue} AD=AD \quad(\text { common })}

    {\color{Blue} \therefore \quad \triangle A B D \cong \triangle A C D \quad \text { (AAS-criteria) } }

    {\color{Blue} \text{Hence}, \;\;AB=AC \quad ( \text{ Corresponding parts of Congruent triangles }) }
