Question

In a right triangle ABC right angled at C, M is the midpoint of AB. C is joined to M and produce to D such that DM=CM the point D is joined to B. Find A if CM=A*AB.

Answer 1

Answer:

Please send me the figure of the question also, then I will definitely help you out.

Answer 2

Answer:

i) △AMC≅△BMD

Proof: As 'M' is the midpoint

BM=AM

And also it is the mid point of DC then

DM=MC

And AC=DB (same length)

∴Therefore we can say that

∴△AMC≅△BMD

ii) ∠DBC is a right angle

As △DBC is a right angle triangle and

DC

=DB

2

+BC

2

(Pythagoras)

So, ∠B=90°

∴∠DBC is 90°

iii) △DBC≅△ACB

As M is the midpoint of AB and DC. So, DM=MC and AB=BM

∴DC=AB (As they are in same length)

And also, AC=DB

and ∠B=∠C=90°

By SAS Axiom

∴△DBC≅△ACB

iv) CM=

AB

As △DBC≅△ACB

CM=

DC

∴DC=AB(△DBC≅△ACB)

So, CM=

AB

∴CM=
