Q:
GIVEN: ab perpendicular to BC AND DC PERPENDICULAR TO BCAC = BDPROVE:AB =DC Proofs
Accepted Solution
A:
Let's take a look at the triangles ABC and DCB
1. angles : B=C=90Β° because they are right triangles (AB perpendicular to BC and DC perpendicular to BC)
2. AC=BD (given)
3. BC is in common (the two triangles have it, you can say it like BC=BC)
So we proved that by SAS(side angle side), the triangles are congruent ABC= DCB
Since the triangles are congrueny, all their sides are equal so we can say that AB=DC
