Solution 8

(i) In

AMC and

BMD
AM = BM (M is mid point of AB)

AMC =

BMD (vertically opposite angles)
CM = DM (given)

(ii) We have

ACM =

But

ACM and

BDM are alternate interior angles
Since alternate angles are equal.
Hence, we can say that DB || AC

DBC +

ACB = 180^o (co-interior angles)

DBC + 90^o = 180^o

DBC + 90^o= 180⁰

DBC = 90^o

(iii) Now in

DBC and

OAC
AO =AO            (common)
AB = AC            (given)
OB = OC            (proved above)
So,

Now In

Now, in

B (angles opposite to equal sides are also equal)

ABC,

A +

B +

C = 180^o (angle sum property of a triangle)

90^o +

B +

C = 180^o

90^o +

B +

B = 180^o

B = 90^o

B = 45

Solution 8

Let us consider that ABC is an equilateral triangle.
So, AB = BC = AC
Now, AB = AC

C =

B       (angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)

We also have
AC = BC

B =

A (angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)

So, we have

A =

B =

C
Now, in

ABC

A +

B +

C = 180^o

A +

A = 180^o

A = 60^o

A =

B =

C = 60^o
Hence, in an equilateral triangle all interior angles are of 60^o.

ACD
    AB = AC                                             (given)
      BD = CD                  (given)
      AD = AD                                            (common)

(ii) In

ABP and

ACP
AB = AC (given).

BAP =

CAP [from equation (1)]
AP = AP (common)

(iii) From equation (1)

BAP =

Hence, AP bisect

        BP = CP                [from equation (2)]

(iv) We have

CDP

Now, BPD + CPD = 180^o (linear pair angles)

BPD + BPD = 180^o

2BPD = 180^o [from equation (4)]

BPD = 90^o ...(5)

From equations (2) and (5), we can say that AP is perpendicular bisector of BC.

Solution 2

       AB = AC                                            (given)
       AD = AD                                                  (common)

(ii) Also by CPCT,

BAD =

Hence, AD bisects

(ii) Also by CPCT,

ÐBAD = ÐCAD

Hence, AD bisects ÐA.

BM =

PQR, PN is median to QR

BM = QN                       [from equation (1)]
AM = PN                       (given)

(ii) Now in

Solution 4

CFB

BEC =

CFB                                              (each 90^o )
BC = CB                                                         (common)
BE = CF                                                         (given)

(Sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal)

Hence,
