Angle BCD is external to triangle ABC, CE is the bisector of angle BCD, with CE parallel to AB. Prove that a triangle is ABC-isosceles.
Let the value of the angle ВСD = Х0.
Since CE is the bisector of the angle BCD, then the angle BCE = DCE = (X / 2) 0.
The angle ACB is adjacent to the angle BCD, the sum of which is 180, then the angle BCA = (180 – X) 0.
Since, according to the condition, AB is parallel to CE, then the angle BCE = ABC = (X / 2) as criss-crossing angles at the intersection of parallel lines AB and CE secant BC.
Angle BAC = DCE = (X / 2) 0, as the corresponding angles at the intersection of parallel lines AB and CE secant AC.
In the triangle ABC, the angle BAC = ABC, and therefore the triangle is isosceles with the base AB, which was required to be proved.
