If the bisector of the exterior vertical angle of a triangle be parallel to the base. Show that the triangle is isosceles.
Given:
The bisector of the exterior vertical angle of a triangle is parallel to the base.
To do:
We have to show that the triangle is isosceles.
Solution:
Let in $\triangle ABC, AE$ is the bisector of vertical exterior angle $A$ and $AE \parallel BC$
$AE \parallel BC$
This implies,
$\angle 1 = \angle B$ (Corresponding angles)
$\angle 2 = \angle C$ (Alternate angles)
$\angle 1 = \angle 2$ ($AE$ is the bisector of $\angle CAD$)
This implies,
$\angle B = \angle C$
$AB = AC$ (Sides opposite to equal angles are equal)
Therefore, $\triangle ABC$ is an isosceles triangle.
Hence proved.
