Given:
ABCD is a square
BD = ED
Bisector of ∠ABD intersects line CD in point E, and C, D, E
To Find:
BE² = 2(2+√2)AB²
Solution:
It is given that ABCD is a square.
By definition of the square, all the sides of a square are equal. This means that,
AB = BC = CD = AD ..(i)
Also, each angle of a square is 90°, which implies
∠A = ∠B = ∠C = ∠D = 90°
Then, as given BD is the diagonal of the square. So, we know that diagonal of the square is √2 times that of the side of the square.
∴ BD = √3AB ..(ii)
It is also given that,
BD = DE
ED = √2AB [from(ii)] ..(iii)
Now, in ΔBDE,
∠BDE > 90°
ΔBDE is an obtuse-angled triangle.
So, as ∠BCD that is ∠BCE is 90°.
BC⊥CD⊥CE [C-D-E]
Thus, ΔBDE also contains an altitude BC in its exterior.
Hence, an obtuse-angled triangle has perpendicular property, we get,
BE² = BD²+DE²+2CD×DE
now, substituting the measures,
= (√2AB)²+(√2AB)²+2AB√2AB [using (i),(ii) and (iii)]
Simplifying the values
= (2AB² + 2AB²)+2√2AB²
= (2AB² + 2AB²) + 2√2AB²
= 4AB² + 2√2AB²
= 2AB²(2+√2)
= 2(2+√2)AB²
Therefore, BE² = 2(2+√2)AB².
