Question

Given below is the triangle and length of line segments. Identify in the given figure, ray PM is the bisector of ∠QPR.

Sum

Solution

In ΔPQR,

`"PR"/"PQ" = 10/9`    ...(1)

`"RM"/"QM" = 4/3.6 = (4xx10)/(3.6xx10)=40/36=10/9`   ...(2)

From Equation (1) & (2)

∴ `"PR"/"PQ" = "RM"/"QM"`

By converse of angle bisector theorem, ray PM is the bisector of ∠QPR.

Complete the proof by filling in the boxes.

solution:

In ∆PMQ,

Ray MX is the bisector of ∠PMQ.

∴ `("MP")/("MQ") = square/square` .............(I) [Theorem of angle bisector]

Similarly, in ∆PMR, Ray MY is the bisector of ∠PMR.

∴ `("MP")/("MR") = square/square` .............(II) [Theorem of angle bisector]

But `("MP")/("MQ") = ("MP")/("MR")`  .............(III) [As M is the midpoint of QR.] 

Hence MQ = MR

∴ `("PX")/square = square/("YR")`  .............[From (I), (II) and (III)]

∴ XY || QR   .............[Converse of basic proportionality theorem]


In ΔABC, ray BD bisects ∠ABC, A – D – C, seg DE || side BC, A – E – B, then for showing `("AB")/("BC") = ("AE")/("EB")`, complete the following activity:

Proof :

In ΔABC, ray BD bisects ∠B.

∴ `square/("BC") = ("AD")/("DC")`   ...(I) (`square`)

ΔABC, DE || BC

∴ `(square)/("EB") = ("AD")/("DC")`   ...(II) (`square`)

∴ `("AB")/square = square/("EB")`   ...[from (I) and (II)]
