In an isosceles triangle PQR, the length of equal sides PQ and PR is 13 cm and base QR is 10 cm. Find the length of perpendicular bisector drawn from vertex P to side QR.
उत्तर
Given: In an isosceles triangle PQR, PQ = PR = 13 cm and base QR = 10 cm.
Since, PS is the perpendicular bisector,
∴ QS = SR = `(QR)/2 = 10/2` = 5
Now, using Pythagoras' theorem, in a right-angled triangle PSQ,
PS2 + SQ2 = PQ2
Substituting the values of SQ and PQ in equation (i),
PS2 + 52 = 132
⇒ PS2 = 132 – 52
⇒ PS2 = 169 – 25
⇒ PS2 = 144
∴ PS = `sqrt(144)` = 12
As a result, the length of the perpendicular bisector PS is 12 cm.
