Question:
P is a point on the bisector of ∠ABC. If the line through P, parallel to BA meets BC at Q, prove that ΔBPQ is an isosceles triangle.
Solution:
Given: BP is the bisector of ∠ABC, and BA
To prove: ΔBPQ is an isosceles triangle
Proof:
$\because \angle 1=\angle 2$ (Given, $B P$ is the bisector of $\angle A B C$ )
And, $\angle 1=\angle 3$ (Alternate interior angles)
$\therefore \angle 2=\angle 3$
So, $P Q=B Q$ (In a triangle, sides opposite to equal sides are equal.)
But these are sides of $\Delta B P Q$.
Hence, $\Delta B P Q$ is an isosceles triangle.
