Q106 of 158 Page 159

State whether the statements are True or False.

In Fig. 6.29, AD ⊥ BC and AD is the bisector of angle BAC. Then, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD by RHS.


False


In ∆ABD and ∆ACD


AD = AD (common)


∠BAD = ∠CAD


But AB≠AC


Hence hypotenuse is not equal in both triangles then


Both triangles cannot be congruent by RHS congruence criterion
