Thx~ In Triangle ADC and Triangle BCD AD = BC (given) 跟住自己將個quadrilateral 畫上去 變左做triangle<---知唔知我講咩 then I call the 頂點of triangle is "F" Angle FDC = Angle FAB (corr. angles, AB//CD) Angle FCD = Angle FBA (corr. angles, AB//CD) Angle ADC = 180 - Angle FDC (adj. angles on st. line) Angle BCD = 180 - Angle FCD (adj. angles on st. line) Because Triangle FAB is an isosceles triangle,<---DA = CB,so FA = FB so Angle FAB =Angle FBA = Angle FDC = Angle FCD So Angle ADC = Angle BCD DC = CD (common side) So triangle ADC = Triangle BCD (S.A.S.) So Angle BDC = Angle ACD (corr. angles, = triangle) So Angle BDC = Angle DBA (alt. Angles, AB//CD) Angle ACD = Angle CAB (alt. angles, AB//CD) So Angle DBA = Angle CAB So Triangle ABE is an isosceles triangle. |
