Given AD is the bisector of ∠A of triangle ABC
Hence ∠DAB=∠DAC
∠BDA is the exterior angle of the ∆DAC
Hence ∠BDA> ∠DAC
or ∠BDA > ∠DAB Since ∠DAC=∠DAB
→ AB > BD In a triangle sides opposite to greater angle is greater.
Step-by-step explanation:
In ΔABC
AD is the bisector of ∠BAC
∠1=∠2 …(i)
Also in ΔADC
∠3=∠2+∠C (ext. angle is equal to sum of opposite interior angles)
∠3>∠2 (ext. angle is greater than one of the interior angles)
But ∠1=∠2
∠3>∠1
AB>BD
Hence proved.
