    In the given figure, \[\Delta ABC\] and \[\Delta ADE\] are isosceles triangles with \[AB=AC\] and \[AD=AE\].
    If \[CE=2\text{ }cm\] and \[DE=6\text{ }cm,\]then what is the length of side BC?
                           
     

    A)  \[8\text{ }cm\]                       

    B)  \[\text{9 }cm\]         

    C)  \[\text{10 }cm\]                     

    D)  \[\text{1 }cm\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    (c): In Ales ABD and ACE, \[AB=AC\text{ };\text{ }AD=AE\] and included \[\angle les\] are \[30{}^\circ \] each Hence, they are congruent.      \[\Rightarrow BD=CE=2\text{ }cm\] \[\therefore \,\,BC=BD+DE+CE;=2+6+2=10cm\]
