(N/A) In $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle CBD$,we have:
$AB = CB$ [Given]
$AD = CD$ [Given]
$BD = BD$ [Common side]
Therefore,$\triangle ABD \cong \triangle CBD$ [By $SSS$ congruence rule]
$\Rightarrow \angle ABD = \angle CBD$ [$CPCT$]
And $\angle ADB = \angle CDB$ [$CPCT$]
Hence,$BD$ bisects both the angles $ABC$ and $ADC$.

Point $P$ lies in the interior of $\Delta ABC$. Prove that $PB + PC < AB + AC$.

In $\Delta ABC$,$AB = 8 \, cm$ and $BC = 5 \, cm$,then $AC > \ldots \ldots \ldots cm$.

$ABC$ is an isosceles triangle with $AB = AC$ and $D$ is a point on $BC$ such that $AD \perp BC$. To prove that $\angle BAD = \angle CAD$,a student proceeded as follows:
In $\triangle ABD$ and $\triangle ACD$:
$AB = AC$ (Given)
$\angle B = \angle C$ (because $AB = AC$)
and $\angle ADB = \angle ADC$
Therefore,$\triangle ABD \cong \triangle ACD$ $(AAS)$
So,$\angle BAD = \angle CAD$ $(CPCT)$
What is the defect in the above arguments?
