∆ABC is an isosceles triangle where AB = AC and circumscribed a circle.
The circle touches its sides BC, CA and AB at P, Q and R respectively.
To Prove : P bisects the base BC, i.e. BP = PC
Now form figure,
BR and BP are tangents to the circle.
So, BR = BP …..(1)
AR and AQ are tangents to the circle.
AR = AQ But AB = AC
AB – AR = AC – AQ
BR = CQ …..(2)
Similarly, CP and CQ are tangents to the circle.
CP = CQ ……(3)
From (1), (2) and (3)
BP = PC
Hence Proved.
