are concyclic.
Given, ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC. D and E are midpoints of AB and AC respectively.
∴ DE || BC
⇒ ∠ADE = ∠ABC ______________ (i)
AB = AC
⇒ ∠ABC = ∠ACB ______________ (ii)
Now,
∠ADE + ∠EDB = 180°[Because ADB is a straight line]
⇒ ∠ACB + ∠EDB = 180°
The opposite angles are supplementary.
∴ D, B, C, E are concyclic.
