Question
In Fig. AB = AC and DB = DC, find the ratio $\angle\text{ABD}:\angle\text{ACD}.$
✓
Answer
Consider the figure. 
Given, AB = AC, DB = DC and given to find the ratio$\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ACD}$
Now, $\triangle\text{ABC}$ and $\triangle\text{DBC}$ are isosceles triangles since $\text{AB}=\text{AC}$ and $\text{DB}=\text{DC}$ respectively$\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ACB}$ and $\angle\text{DBC}=\angle\text{DCB}$ [Angles opposite to equal sides are equal]
Now consider,$\angle\text{ABC}:\angle\text{ACD}$
$(\angle\text{ABC}-\angle\text{DBC}):(\angle\text{ACB}-\angle\text{DCB})$
$(\angle\text{ABC}-\angle\text{DBC}):(\angle\text{ABC}-\angle\text{DBC})\\ [\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ABC}=\angle\text{ACB}\text{ and }\angle\text{DBC}=\angle\text{DBC]}$
$1:1$
$\text{ABC}:\text{ACD}=1:1$
