Given: ΔABC is an isosceles triangle where AB = BC.
Prove: m∠BAC = m∠BCA

Proof:
Statement Reason
1. Let ΔABC be an isosceles triangle where AB = BC. given
2. Create point D on so that bisects ∠ABC as shown. constructing an angle bisector
3. m∠ABD = m∠DBC definition of angle bisector
4. BD = BD
5. ΔABD ≅ ΔCBD SAS
6. m∠BAC = m∠BCA Corresponding angles of congruent triangles are equal.
