Mathematics
Answer
In △ ABC,
⇒ AB = AC (Given)
⇒ ∠C = ∠B = 70°
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠BAC + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC + 70° + 70° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC + 140° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAC = 180° - 140° = 40°.
In △ ABD,
By angle sum property of triangle,
⇒ ∠BAD + ∠B + ∠D = 180°
⇒ ∠BAD + 70° + 40° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAD + 110° = 180°
⇒ ∠BAD = 180° - 110° = 70°.
From figure,
⇒ ∠CAD = ∠BAD - ∠BAC = 70° - 40° = 30°.
In △ ACD,
Since, ∠CDA > ∠CAD
∴ AC > CD (If two angles of a triangle are unequal, the greater angle has the greater side opposite to it.)
Since, AB = AC
∴ AB > CD.
Hence, proved that AB > CD.
