in the given figure, ab=ac, d is the point in the interior of triangle abc such that angle dbc=angle dcb. prove that ad bisects angle bac of triangle abc

draw a triangle abc with point d somewhere in the centre. join db, dc and da

B and C are the bases of ur triangle.... u should get a triangle dbc insode the original triangle abc

GIVEN: ab = ac, angle dbc = dcb

TO PROVE:AD bisects angle A

PROOF: given angle dbc = dcb

Therefore DB = DC [sides opp. equal angles of a triangle]

Consider Triangles ABD, ACD

AB = AC [given]

AD = AD [common]

DB = DC [proven]

Therefore triangle ABD congruent to triangle ACD by SSS cong. rule

By cpct, angle BAD = CAD

Therefore AD bisects angle BAC.

Hope i cud help ya =D
