Question : ABC is an equilateral triangle points D, E and F are taken in sides AB, BC and CA respectively so that, AD = BE = CF. Then DE, EF, and FD enclose a triangle which is:
Option 1: equilateral
Option 2: isosceles
Option 3: right angled
Option 4: none
Correct Answer: equilateral
Solution : Given: ABC is an equilateral triangle points D, E and F are taken in sides AB, BC and CA respectively so that, AD = BE = CF. Now, AB = BC = CA and AD = BE = CF So, AD = BD = BE = EC = CF = AF ⇒D, E, and F are midpoints of the sides AB, BC and AC, respectively. Thus, DF || BC and DF = $\frac{1}{2}$BC Similarly DE = $\frac{1}{2}$AC and EF = $\frac{1}{2}$AB So, DE = EF = DF $\therefore \triangle$DEF is an equilateral triangle. Hence, the correct answer is equilateral.
