ABCD is a quadrilateral in which AD = BC and ∠DAB = ∠CBA (see figure). Prove that:

(i) ∆ABD ≅ ∆BAC
(ii) BD = AC
(iii) ∠ABD = ∠BAC.

Line I is the bisector of an angle ∠A and B is any point on I. BP and BQ are perpendiculars from B to the arms of ∠A (see figure). Show that:
(i) ∆APB ≅ ∆AQB
(ii) BP = BQ or B is equidistant from the arms of ∠A.

(i) ∆DAP ≅ ∆EBP
(ii) AD = BE.

 

In right triangle ABC, right angled at C, M is the mid-point of hypotenuse AB. C is joined to M and produced to a point D such that DM = CM. Point D is joined to point B (see figure). Show that:    

(i)    ∆AMC ≅ ∆BMD
(ii)    ∠DBC is a right angle
(iii)    ∆DBC ≅ ∆ACB
