In an equilateral triangle ABC if AD ⊥ BC, then AD2 =
विकल्प
CD2
2CD2
3CD2
4CD2
उत्तर
In an equilateral ΔABC, `AD ⊥ BC`.
In ΔADC, applying Pythagoras theorem, we get
`AC^2=AD^2+DC^2`
`BC^2=AD^2+DC^2(∵ AC=BC)`
`(2DC)^2=AD^2+DC^2(∵ BC=2DC)`
`4DC^2=AD^2+DC^2`
`3DC^2=AD^2`
Hence, the correct option is (c).
