ABC is a right-angled triangle and O is the mid point of the side opposite to the right angle. Explain why O is equidistant from A, B and C. (The dotted lines are drawn additionally to help you). |
Answer» Draw lines AD and DC such that AD||BC, AB||DC AD = BC, AB = DC ABCD is a rectangle as opposite sides are equal and parallel to each other and all the interior angles are of 90º. In a rectangle, diagonals are of equal length and also these bisect each other. Hence, AO = OC = BO = OD Thus, O is equidistant from A, B, and C. |
