11. ABCD is a triangle in which ∠𝐵 = 2∠𝐶. D is a point on BC such that AB bisects ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶 and
AB=CD. Find the ∠𝐵𝐴𝐶.
12. If two isosceles triangles have a common base prove that the line joining their vertices
bisects them at right angles.

the sides, PQ and QR and median PM of ∆𝑃𝑄𝑅. Prove that
I. ∆𝐴𝐵𝐷 ≅ ∆𝑃𝑄𝑀
