\(\triangle{ABC}\) is an equilateral triangle. If \(m∠DAC = m∠DCA = 40°\), choose all the true statements.

A. AD = DC
B. AD < BC
C. m∠DAB = m∠DCB
D. m∠ADC > m∠DCB
E. CE = EA


Kudos for the right answer and explanation

By geometrical properties of triangles, A,B,C are true;

For E, since, as non-vertex angles are equal, consecutive sides are equal, this figure is considered as a kite. Non-vertex side diagonal is bisected by diagonal from the vertex side.

why option d is wrong?
after calculation measure of angle BCD =100 and angle ADC=120

I think you'll find that ∠ADC=100° degrees (since ∠DCA = ∠CAD = 40°)

Greater the interior angle, greater is the side opposite to it

In triangle ADC, AD is opposite to 40 degree whereas AC is opposite to 100 degrees.
Also, AC = AB = BC

So, AD < BC
