ABC and ADC are two right triangles with common hypotenuse AC. Prove that ∠ CAD = ∠CBD.
Solution:
We know that AC is the common hypotenuse and ∠ B = ∠ D = 90°.
Now, it has to be proven that ∠ CAD = ∠ CBD
Since, ∠ ABC and ∠ ADC are 90°, it can be said that They lie in the semi-circle.
So, triangles ABC and ADC are in the semi-circle and the points A, B, C and D are concyclic.
Hence, CD is the chord of the circle with center O.
We know that the angles which are in the same segment of the circle are equal.
∴ ∠ CAD = ∠ CBD
