Question

In DABC, ĐB = 90° and D and E are points on
BC. AD and AE trisects the angle A. Then​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since D and E are the points of trisection of BC therefore BD=DE=CE

Let BD=DE=CE=x.

Then BE=2x and BC=3x

In rt △ABD,

AD

=AB

2

+BD

2

=AB

2

+x

(i)

In rt △ABE,

AE

2

=AB

2

+BE

2

=AB

2

+4x

(ii)

In rt △ABC,

AC

2

=AB

2

+BC

2

=AB

2

+9x

(iii)

Now, 8AE

−3AC

2

−5AD

=8(AB

+4x

2

)−3(AB

2

+9x

2

)−5(AB

2

+x

)

=0

Therefore, 8AE

=3AC

+5AD
