In triangle ABC, AD bisects <BAC into two equal halves. E is the midpoint of AC. BP is the tangent drawn from B on the circumcircle ADEC. If AB = 18, AC = 24, BP = 12, then BC = a√√b. Find the value of a + b
Given: ΔABC is isosceles triangle in which AB=AC, with a circle inscribed in a triangle.
To prove: BD=DC
Proof: AF and AE are tangents drawn to the circle from point A.
Since two tangents drawn to a circle from the same exterior point are equal, AF=AE=a
Similarly, BF=BD=b, and CD=CE=c
ΔABC is a isosceles triangle in which AB=AC
So, a+b=a+c
Thus, b=c
Therefore, BD=DC
Hence proved.

Thus, b=c
Therefore, BD=DC
