Question

19. ABD is a triangle right angled at A
and AC is perpendicular to BD then
show that AC2=BC x DC

​

Answer 1

Answer:

(i) In ΔADB and ΔCAB, we have

∠DAB = ∠ACB (Each equals to 90°)

∠ABD = ∠CBA (Common angle)

∴ ΔADB ~ ΔCAB [AA similarity criterion]

⇒ AB/CB = BD/AB

⇒ AB2 = CB × BD

(ii) Let ∠CAB = x

In ΔCBA,

∠CBA = 180° - 90° - x

∠CBA = 90° - x

Similarly, in ΔCAD

∠CAD = 90° - ∠CBA

= 90° - x

∠CDA = 180° - 90° - (90° - x)

∠CDA = x

In ΔCBA and ΔCAD, we have

∠CBA = ∠CAD

∠CAB = ∠CDA

∠ACB = ∠DCA (Each equals to 90°)

∴ ΔCBA ~ ΔCAD [By AAA similarity criterion]

⇒ AC/DC = BC/AC

⇒ AC2 = DC × BC

(iii) In ΔDCA and ΔDAB, we have

∠DCA = ∠DAB (Each equals to 90°)

∠CDA = ∠ADB (common angle)

∴ ΔDCA ~ ΔDAB [By AA similarity criterion]

⇒ DC/DA = DA/DA

⇒ AD2 = BD × CD
