Point M is chosen in an isosceles triangle ABC with base AC on the median BD. Prove that triangle ABM is equal to CBM.

| In an isosceles triangle, the median is also the bisector of the angle. Those. ВD is the bisector ∠ ABС and, accordingly, ∠ ABD = ∠ CBD
Let us compare ∆ ABM and ∆ CBM:
AB = BC, because ∆ ABC is isosceles by the condition of the problem
BM – common side for two triangles
∠ ABM = ∠ CBM (since BD is the bisector)
Hence, ∆ ABM = ∆ CBM (according to the first sign of equality of triangles – 2 sides and the angle between them)
