Given:

In the given figure, $AB = AC$ and $DB = DC$.

To do:

We have to find the ratio $\angle ABD : \angle ACD$.

Solution:

In $\triangle ABC$,

$AB = AC$

$\angle ACD = \angle ABE$..........…(i)              (Angles opposite to equal sides are equal)

In $\triangle DBC$,

$DB = DC$

This implies,

$\angle DCB = \angle DBC$...........(ii)

Subtracting (ii) from (i), we get,

$\angle ACB - \angle DCB = \angle ABC - \angle DBC$

$\angle ACD = \angle ABD$

Therefore,

Ratio of $\angle ABD : \angle ACD = 1 : 1$.
