On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,
Given , AB = AC and BD = DC
∴ ∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90°
∠ABC = 35°
In ∆ ABD,Correct Option: B

∴ ∠ADB = ∠ADC = 90°
∠ABC = 35°
In ∆ ABD,
∠BAD + ∠ABD = 90°
∴ ∠BAD = 90° – 35° = 55°

As per the given in question , we draw a figure of a triangle ABC in which BD and CE are perpendicular to AC and AB respectively ,
Area of ∆ ABC = 1 × AB × CE 2 Area of ∆ ABC = 1 × AC × BD 2
Correct Option: B
As per the given in question , we draw a figure of a triangle ABC in which BD and CE are perpendicular to AC and AB respectively ,
Area of ∆ ABC = 1 × AB × CE 2 Area of ∆ ABC = 1 × AC × BD 2
⇒ AB = AC [∵BD = CE]
∴ ∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle.

On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,
∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle.
∴ ∠ABC = ∠ACB { ∴ AB = AC }∠ABC = 180° - 30° = 75° 2
Correct Option: D
On the basis of given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,
∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle.
∴ ∠ABC = ∠ACB { ∴ AB = AC }∠ABC = 180° - 30° = 75° 2
XY || BC
∴ ∠AXY = ∠ABC = 75°
∴ ∠BXY = 180° – ∠ABC = 180° – 75° = 105°

We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,
Here , AB = AC = 15 cm.
AD ⊥ BC ; AD = 12 cm.
∴ BD = DC
In, ∆ABD
BD = √AB² - AD²
BD = √15² - 12²
BD = √(15 + 12)(15 – 12)Correct Option: C
We draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC ,
Here , AB = AC = 15 cm.
AD ⊥ BC ; AD = 12 cm.
∴ BD = DC
In, ∆ABD
BD = √AB² - AD²
BD = √15² - 12²
BD = √(15 + 12)(15 – 12)
BD = √27 × 3 = 9 cm.
∴ BC = 2 × BD = 2 × 9 = 18 cm.
