Problem

In △ABC\triangle ABC, ∠B=∠C\angle B = \angle C. A perpendicular ADAD is drawn from vertex AA to side BCBC, meeting BCBC at DD. Use this construction to answer the questions below. (i) Show that △ABD≅△ACD\triangle ABD \cong \triangle ACD by an appropriate congruence criterion. (ii) Hence, prove that AB=ACAB = AC. (iii) If BD=4.5 cmBD = 4.5\,\text{cm} and CD=4.5 cmCD = 4.5\,\text{cm}, find the length of BCBC.
