AABC is a right triangle right angled at A such that AB- AC andbisector of 'C intersects the side AB at D. Prove that AC+ AD- BC |

Answer» Let AB = AC = a and AD = b In a right angled triangle ABC , BC²= AB²+ AC²BC²= a²+ a² BC = a√2 Given AD = b, we getDB = AB – AD or DB = a – b We have to prove that AC + AD = BC or (a + b) = a√2. By the angle bisector theorem, we get AD/ DB = AC / BC b/(a - b) = a/ a√2b/(a - b) = 1/√2b = (a – b)/ √2b√2 = a – bb(1 + √2) = ab = a/ (1 + √2) Rationalizing the denominator with (1 - √2) b = a(1 - √2) / (1 + √2) × (1 - √2)b = a(1 - √2)/ (-1)b = a(√2 - 1)b = a√2 – ab + a = a√2or AD + AC = BC [we know that AC = a, AD = b and BC = a√2] Hence it is proved. |
