Text Solution
Verified by Experts
In `/_\BAD` and `/_\CAD`
`AB=AC` given
`/_BAD=/_CAD` by construction
`AD=AD` common
By SAS congruence rule,
`/_\BAD` and `/_\CAD` are congruent.
Thus,

Theorem 7.3 : The sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal.
Which of the following statements are true (T) and which are false (F): Side opposite to equal angles of a triangle may be unequal. Angle opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal. The measure of each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60^0 If the altitude from one vertex of a triangle bisects the opposite side, then the triangle may be isosceles. The bisectors of two equal angles of a triangle are equal. If the bisector of the vertical angle of a triangle bisects the base, then the triangle may be isosceles. The two altitudes corresponding to two equal sides of a triangle need not be equal. If any two sides of a right triangle are respectively equal to two sides of other right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent. Two right triangles are congruent if hypotenuse and a side of one triangle are respectively equal to the hypotenuse and a side of the other triangle.
Fill in the blanks in the following so that each of the following statements is true. (i) Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are ....... (ii) Angle opposite to equal sides of a triangle are ....... (iii) In an equilateral triangle all angles are ....... (iv) In a A B C if /_A=/_C , then A B=\ ..... (v) If altitudes C E\ a n d\ B F of a triangle A B C are equal, then A B= ........ (vi) In an isosceles triangle A B C with A B=A C , if B D\ a n d\ C E are its altitudes, then B D is .......... C E . (vii) In right triangles A B C\ a n d\ D E F , if hypotenuse A B=E F and side A C=D E , then A B C\ ~= ....
