Answer :

Answer:

  a. The proof is in your picture

  b. Yes

  c. All four triangles are congruent by the HL theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

Given AB≅CB in ∆ABC with BD⊥AC, you want to show ∆ABD≅∆CBD, and you want to know if these are congruent to ∆CEG and ∆FEG.

a. Left triangles

Your picture correctly shows a proof that ∆ABD≅∆CBD by the HL postulate.

b. Right triangles

Sides CE and FE are marked congruent to each other and sides AB and CB. The altitudes BD and EG of these isosceles triangles are marked as congruent. Hence all four triangles, ∆ABD, ∆CBD, ∆CEG, and ∆FEG are congruent by the HL theorem.

c. All triangles

The same HL theorem reasoning applies to all of the triangles.

Additional comment

The distance from the light to the stage is said to be the same for both lights. That would be measured perpendicular to the stage, and is the shortest such distance. We are assuming that BD and EG are those perpendicular distances, as we see no markings on the diagram indicating right angles.
