ΔABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC = 13cm. The length of altitude from A on BC is 5cm. Find BC.
उत्तर
It is given that Δ ABC is an isosceles triangle.
Also, AB = AC = 13 cm
Suppose the altitude from A on BC meets BC at D. Therefore, D is the midpoint of BC.
AD =5 cm
Δ 𝐴𝐷𝐵 𝑎𝑛𝑑 Δ 𝐴𝐷𝐶 are right-angled triangles.
Applying Pythagoras theorem, we have;
`AB^2=AD^2+BD^2`
`BD^2=AB^2-AD^2=13^2-5^2`
`BD^2=169-25=144`
`BD=sqrt144=12`
Hence,
`BC=2(BD)=2xx12=24 cm`

To prove: `"AP"/"PB" = "AQ"/"QC"`
Construction: Draw CP and BQ
Proof: ΔAPQ and ΔPQB have equal height.
`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQB")) = (["______"])/"PB"` .....(i)[areas in proportion of base]
`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQC")) = (["______"])/"QC"` .......(ii)[areas in proportion of base]
ΔPQC and ΔPQB have [______] is common base.
Seg PQ || Seg BC, hence height of ΔAPQ and ΔPQB.
A(ΔPQC) = A(Δ______) ......(iii)
`("A"(Δ"APQ"))/("A"(Δ"PQB")) = ("A"(Δ "______"))/("A"(Δ "______"))` ......[(i), (ii), and (iii)]
`"AP"/"PB" = "AQ"/"QC"` .......[(i) and (ii)]
