Question


If in the given figure, ABCD is a rectangle and DCE is an equilateral triangle, then which of the following statements is/are correct?


If In The Given Figure, ABCD Is A Rectangle And DCE Is An E...


Options:
A .   ΔDAE  ΔCBE
B .   DAE=15
C .   ΔAEB  is isosceles.
D .   ΔDAE is isosceles.
Answer: Option A
:
A and C
EDC = ECD (Angles of an equilateral triangle)
And ADC = BCD (Angles of a rectangle)
EDC+ADC=ECD+BCD 
EDA=ECB
In ΔDAE and ΔCBE,
DE=CE (Sides of an equilateral triangle)
DA=BC (Sides of a rectangle)
EDA = ECB (proved)
Hence, ΔDAEΔCBE (SAS congruence)
Also, EA = EB  (C.P.C.T.C.)
ΔEAB is an isosceles triangle.
It is given that, ABCD is a rectangle.
DADC 
Also, DEC is an equilateral triangle.
DC=DE
DADE
 Hence, DAE is not an isosceles triangle.
Also, it can not be proved that DAE=15.
