△ABC\triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB=ACAB = AC. Altitude ADAD is drawn to the base BCBC, meeting BCBC at DD. If BD=4 cmBD = 4\,\text{cm} and AB=AC=10 cmAB = AC = 10\,\text{cm}, answer the following questions: a. Prove that △ABD≅△ACD\triangle ABD \cong \triangle ACD. b. Using the result of part (i), determine the length DCDC. Show all working.
