given:
ΔXYZ,
∠XYZ =90°
XY =1/2 XZ or XZ=2XY
to prove:
∠YXZ =60 °
Solution:
please refer to the diagram attached below:
Construction:
extend XY to P, so that XY = YP
join P to Z.
Proof:
In ΔXYZ & ΔPYZ,
XY = YP
YZ is common.
∠XYZ = ∠PYZ=90°
So, ΔXYZ ≅ ΔPYZ by SAS congruence.
therefore, XZ = PZ [CPCT]
also XY = 1/2 XZ
OR, XZ=2XY
BUT, XZ=PZ
Hence, XP = XZ = PZ
ΔXPZ is an equilateral triangle. whose all angles measure 60°
so, ∠PXZ =60 °
and, ∠YXZ =60 °
hence, proved.
