If the base of an isosceles triangle is produced on both sides, prove that the exterior angles so formed are equal to each other.


To prove: the exterior angles formed are equal to each other


i.e., ADB =ACE


Proof: Let ABC be an isosceles triangle


Where BC is the base of the triangle and AB and AC are its equal sides.


ABC =ACB


B =C (Angle opposite to equal sides)


Now,


ADB +ABC = 180°


ACB +ACE =180°


ADB =180° -B


And


ACE=180°-C


ADB = 180° - B


And


ACE=180°-B


ADB =ACE


Hence, proved
