Class 9 Style......

(Refer to my fig)
angle PCB= angle PBC
therefore PB=PC

then by SAS
ΔABP≡ΔDCP
angle PDC=angle A
in ΔAPD AP=PD (CPCT or whatever it is)

angle PAD=angle DAP

angle ADB=A/2+C (exterior angle = sum of int angles in tr ADC)

now angle BDC=180=ADB+ADP+PDC
(A/2+C)+(A/2)+(A)=180...............................(i)

also frm angle sum prop of ABC
A+3C=180..................................................(ii)

solve (i) and (ii) to get A=720

sorry for the dirtiest pic in the whole world :(

in tri(ABD),

c/sin(x+y) = AD/ sin2x (ang ADB= x+y by external angle theorem)

agn, in tri(ACD),

c/siny=AD/ sinx

then sin(x+y)/ sin2x = siny/ sinx
=> sinycosx + sinx+cosy / 2cosx = siny
=> sinxcosy = sinycosx
=> tanx= tany
=> x = n pi + y
but since in a triangle angles cant differ by 1 pi also,
therfeore, x= y

see fig, 5y= 180 => y= 36 => 2y= ang A = 72.

I got it in class 9 but not able now to get it....
So i searched the book and also a hint was there then after all this.....

construct BP wchich bisects angle B

..........Now proceed.
Should get AP=PD in b/w.....

ABC is a triangle in which angle B=twice angle C. D is a point on BC such that AD bisects ange BAC and AB=CD, Prove that angle BAC = 720

i dun have ny idea y should it be 72????

i can (nyone can) prove dat it cant be 72 as well.....

take 90, 45, 45... and drw a internal bisector of one 45° on the opposite base...

are u missing something in this question???
is there ny other condition given.....???

do one favour,,,, write the whole question neatly once again here... plz...

who siad ?AB = BD? . I only said AB=DC

1
voldy ·

and in the diag AB = CD , not AE =CD .

1
voldy ·

A+B+C =180
so , A+3C =180 .
by the internal bisector theorme .
AB/ BD = AC/CD

thus , b2/c = BD .

ΔADE ≡ ΔADF .
thus DE =DF

I want to prove AC =BC . is my approach right?

1
voldy ·

see I've drawn the diag and also my construction. perpendiculars to the sides AB and AC from D .

how can AD divide angle A in 2 pats!

i dont understand the set up i think there is some issue with the typing !
