Bisector of an Angle of a Triangle

Given and the bisector of , so .

  1. is similar to . , by parallel lines cut by transversal theorem, and for the same reason; therefore, is similar to by AAA similarity.
  2. So,
  3. I need to show that
  4. by parallel lines cut by a transversal theorem . Since we know that and then . Since we know and then . Therefore, is isosceles and ; therefore,
  5. EXTENSION
