The incircle of an isosceles triangle ABC, in which AB = AC, touches the sides BC, CA and AB at D, E and F respectively. Prove that BD = DC.


Given: ABC is an isosceles triangle with a circle inscribed in the triangle.

To prove: BD=DC

Proof: 

AF and AE are tangents drawn to the circle from point A.

Since two tangents drwan to a circle from the same exterior point are equal.

AF=AE=a

Similarly  BF=BD=b  and  CD=CE=c

We also know that ABC is an isosceles triangle

Thus AB=AC

a+b=a+c

Thus b=c

Therefore, BD=DC

Hence proved.
