ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB=AC IF D and E are midpoints of AB and AC respectively, prove that B,C,D and E are concyclic.

Given: ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC
D and E are the mid points of AB and AC
Now in ∆ABC
∠ABC = ∠ACB (angles opposite to equal sides are equal)
⇒ ∠DBC = ∠ECB ... (1)
and since D and E are mid point of AB and AC
∴ DE || BC (mid point theorem)
⇒ ∠EDB + ∠DBC = 180° (Linear pair) ... (2)
from (1) and (2)
∠EDB + ∠ECB = 180°
Since opposite angles of quadrilateral DBCE are supplementary
Hence points B, C, D, E are concyclic
