Answer :
Let us consider the isosceles triangle ABC with side AB= AC.
i. Draw a circle with diameter AB and draw another circle with diameter AC. Thus, we get
ii. Join AH. We get,
As we can see in yellow circle,
∠AHB = 90°
(∵ angle in a semicircle is right angle )
Similarly, in purple circle,
∠AHC = 90° (∵ angle in a semicircle is right angle )
Consider, Δ AHB and Δ AHC
AB = AC ( ∵ ABC is isosceles triangle)
AH = AH (∵ common side)
∠AHB = ∠AHC 90°
⇒ Δ AHB ≅ Δ AHC (by RHS congruent rule)
Thus, BH = BC (by CPCT)
