Question

in an equilateral triangle ABC D is a point on side BC such that BD = 1/3 BC.prove that 9AD square equal to 7 AB square

Answer 1

In a ΔABC and ΔACE

AB = AC ( Given)

AE = AE ( common)

∠AEB = ∠AEC = 90°

∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔACE ( For RHS criterion)

BE = EC (By C.P.C.T)

BE = EC = BC / 2

In a right angled triangle ADE

AD2 = AE2 + DE2 ---------(1)

In a right angled triangle ABE

AB2 = AE2 + BE2 ---------(2)

From equ (1) and (2) we obtain

⇒ AD2  - AB2 =  DE2 - BE2 .

⇒ AD2  - AB2 = (BE – BD)2 - BE2 .

⇒ AD2  - AB2 = (BC / 2 – BC/3)2 – (BC/2)2 

⇒ AD2  - AB2 = ((3BC – 2BC)/6)2 – (BC/2)2 

⇒ AD2  - AB2 = BC2 / 36 – BC2 / 4 ( In a equilateral triangle ΔABC, AB = BC = CA)

⇒ AD2 = AB2 + AB2 / 36 – AB2 / 4

⇒ AD2 = (36AB2 + AB2– 9AB2) / 36

⇒ AD2 = (28AB2) / 36

⇒ AD2 = (7AB2) / 9

9AD2 = 7AB2 .

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: ΔABC is an equilateral triangle. D is point on BC such that BD =BC.

To prove: 9 AD2 = 7 AB2

Construction: Draw AE ⊥ BC.

Proof ;-

Considering on Triangles which are given below;-

In a ΔABC and ΔACE

AB = AC ( given)

AE = AE (common)

∠AEB = ∠AEC = (Right angle)

∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔACE

By RHS Creition

∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔACE

Again,

BE = EC (By C.P.C.T)

BE = EC = BC 2

In a right angled ΔADE

AD2 = AE2 + DE2 ---(1)

In a right angled ΔABE

AB2 = AE2 + BE2 ---(2)

From equation (1) and (2) ;

 =) AD2  - AB2 =  DE2 - BE2 .

 =) AD2  - AB2 = (BE – BD)2 - BE2 .

 = ) AD2  - AB2 = (BC / 2 – BC/3)2 – (BC/2)2 

 = AD2  - AB2 = ((3BC – 2BC)/6)2 – (BC/2)2 

 = AD2  - AB2 = BC2 / 36 – BC2 / 4

( In a equilateral triangle, All sides are equal to each other)

AB = BC = AC

 = ) AD2 = AB2 + AB2 / 36 – AB2 / 4

 = )AD2 = (36AB2 + AB2– 9AB2) / 36

 = ) AD2 = (28AB2) / 36

 =) AD2 = (7AB2) / 9

 = ) 9AD2 = 7AB2 ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎

‎

‎

‎

‎Hence, 9AD2 = 7AB2
