Heya Frnndd!!
Here's ur solution... hope this helps you ☺☺☺
GIVEN- AD is a median of triangle ABC.
REQUIRED TO PROVE- AB+AC>2AD.
CONSTRUCTION- AD is extended to G such that AD=DG. B,G and C,G are joined.
PROOF-
In triangles ABD and DGC,
1. AD=DG [ by construction ].
2. BD=DC [ since AD is a median (given) ]
3. included angle ADB= included angle CDG.
Therefore, triangles ABD and DGC are congruent. [ by S.A.S. congruency. ]
AB=CG, since they are corresponding sides of congruent triangles.
In triangle ACG,
AC+CG>AG. [ since sum of two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. ]
or, AC+AB>AD+DG. [ since AB=CG ( proved earlier ) ]
or, AB+AC>AD+AD [ since AD=DG ( by construction )]
or, AB+AC> 2AD. [ PROVED ]
