From given figure, In ∆ABC, AB ⊥ BC, AB = BC, AC = `5sqrt(2)` , then what is the height of ∆ABC?
उत्तर
AB = BC ......[Given]
∴ ∠A = ∠C ......[Isosceles triangle theorem]
Let ∠A = ∠C = x ......(i)
In ∆ABC, ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180° ......[Sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180°]
∴ x + 90° + x = 180° .......[From (i)]
∴ 2x = 90°
∴ x = `90^circ/2` .......[From (i)]
∴ x = 45°
∴ ∠A = ∠C = 45°
∴ ∆ABC is a 45° – 45° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = BC = `1/sqrt(2) xx "AC"` ......[Side opposite to 45°]
= `1/sqrt(2) xx 5sqrt(2)`
∴ AB = BC = 5 units
∴ The height of ∆ABC is 5 units.
