Answer:
Solution given;
<BCA=<ACD
<ABC=<ADC
now
In traingle ABC & ∆ ACD
AC=AC[common base]
<BCA=<ACD[bisector bisect it]
<ABC=<ADC[Given]
∆ABC is congruent to ∆ ACD by S.A.A. axiom
AB is congruent to AD.
[ corresponding sides of a congruent triangle are equal]
Hence proved.
AC bisects ∠BAD, => ∠BAC=∠CAD ….. (1)
thus in ΔABC and ΔADC, ∠ABC=∠ADC (given),
∠BAC=∠CAD [from (1)],
AC (opposite side side of ∠ABC) = AC (opposite side side of ∠ADC), the common side between ΔABC and ΔADC
Hence, by AAS axiom, ΔABC ≅ ΔADC,
Therefore, BC (opposite side side of ∠BAC) = DC (opposite side side of ∠CAD), since (1)
Hence, BC=DC proved.
