ABC is a triangle right-angled at C. A line through the mid-point M of hypotenuse AB parallel to BC intersects AC ad D. -Maths 9th

1 Answer

Answer :

Given: A △ABC , right - angled at C. A line through the mid - point M of hypotenuse AB parallel to BC intersects AC at D.  To Prove:  (i) D is the mid - point of AC  (ii) MD | AC  (iii) CM = MA = 1 / 2 AB.  Proof : (i) Since M is the mid point of hyp. AB and MD | | BC  . ⇒ D is the mid - point of AC . (ii) Since ∠BCA = 90 °  and MD  | | BC  [given]  ⇒  ∠MDA = ∠BCA  = 90 ° [corresp ∠s] ⇒ MD | AC  (iii) Now, in △ADM and △CDM  MD = MD [common] ∠MDA = ∠MDC [each = 90°] AD = CD [∵ D the mid - point of AC] ⇒ △ADM ≅ △CDM  [by SAS congruence axiom] ⇒ AM = CM  Also, M is the mid - point of AB [given] ⇒ CM = MA = 1 / 2 = AB.
