Problem

On the same side of line segment BCBC, two triangles △ABC\triangle ABC and △DBC\triangle DBC are constructed such that AB=ACAB = AC and DB=DCDB = DC. The vertices AA and DD are joined. (i) Prove that ADAD is perpendicular to BCBC. (ii) If ∠ABC=50∘\angle ABC = 50^{\circ}, determine ∠BAD\angle BAD.
