Question

in triangle ABC, D is the mid point of side AC such that BD =half AC. show that angle ABC is a right angle. ​

Answer 1

Answer:

In ΔADB, AD = BD

∠DAB = ∠DBA = ∠x ( these are the angles which have opposite sides)

In ΔDCB, BD = CD

∠DBC = ∠DCB = ∠y

In ΔABC we will use the angle sum property

∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠CAB = 180°

2(∠x + ∠y) = 180°

∠x + ∠y = 90°

∠ABC = 90°

This means that ABC is the right angled triangle.
