Question
On a common hypotenuse AB, two right triangles ACB and ADB are situated on opposite sides. Prove that $\angle\text{BAC}=\angle\text{BDC}.$
✓
Answer
AB is the common hypotenuse of $\triangle\text{ACB}$ and $\triangle\text{ADB}.$$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{ACB}=90^\circ$ and $\angle\text{BDC}=90^\circ$$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{ACB}+\angle\text{BDC}=180^\circ$
⇒ The opposite angles of quadrilateral ACBD are supplementary. Thus, ACBD is a cyclic quadrilateral. This means that a circle passes through the points A, C, B and D.$\Rightarrow\ \angle\text{BAC}=\angle\text{BDC}$ [angles in the same segment]
