Question

in triangle ABC,BC=12CM ,line AP bisects BC in the ratio 1:2 what is the length of BP AND PC​

Answer 1

Answer:

3x=12

x=4

1x = 4

2x=8

so the answer is 4 and 8

Answer 2

Answer:

BP = 4cm

PC = 8cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Refer to the figure in the attachment

AP divides BC in the ratio 1:2

Let BP = x

So, PC = 2x (Because ratio is 1:2)

And, it is given that BC = 12cm

So, BP + PC = 12

So, x + 2x = 12

So, 3x = 12

So, x = 4

So, 2x = 8

So, BP = x = 4cm and PC = 2x = 8cm.
