प्रश्न
M is a point on side BC of a triangle ABC such that AM is the bisector of ∠BAC. Is it true to say that perimeter of the triangle is greater than 2 AM? Give reason for your answer.
उत्तर
Yes, In ΔABC, M is a point of side BC such that AM is the bisector of ∠BAC.
In ΔABM, AB + BM > AM ...(i) [Sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side]
In ΔACM, AC + CM > AM ...(ii) [Sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side]
On adding equations (i) and (ii), we get
(AB + BM + AC + CM) > 2AM
⇒ (AB + BM + MC + AC) > 2AM
⇒ AB + BC + AC > 2AM ...[∵ BC = BM + MC]
∴ Perimeter of ΔABC > 2AM

ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = AC and D is a point on BC such that AD ⊥ BC (Figure). To prove that ∠BAD = ∠CAD, a student proceeded as follows:
In ∆ABD and ∆ACD,
AB = AC (Given)
∠B = ∠C (Because AB = AC)
and ∠ADB = ∠ADC
Therefore, ∆ABD ≅ ∆ACD (AAS)
So, ∠BAD = ∠CAD (CPCT)
What is the defect in the above arguments?
[Hint: Recall how ∠B = ∠C is proved when AB = AC].
