Dear sir/madam<

rn

kindly help me out in the questions below:

rn

1) In triangle ABC, P and Q are the points on the sides AB and AC respectively such that PQ is parallel to BC. Prove that median AD drawn from A to BC bisects PQ also.

rn

2) In an equilateral triangle ABC, AD perpendicular to BC. Prove that 3AB square=4AD square.

@s.kamarajpandian : You had correctly provided the answer of the said query. Keep Posting!!

I would like to mention that in 4th line on LHS 1 + 2 stands for adding of equations (1) and (2).

Cheers!!

2) IN TRIANGLE ABD              AB2 = AD2 +BD2 -------------------------  1

    IN TRIANGLE ADC              AC2 = AD2 + DC2

                                                   AB2 = AD2 + DC2  SINCE AB = AC  ----------------------   2

                               1 + 2        2AB2 = 2AD2 + BD2 + DC2

                                                 2AB= 2AD2 +(1/2BC)2 + (1/2BC)2   (SINCE ABC IS EQUILATERAL THE PERPENIDICLAR ALSO BISECTS BC                                                              )                                                      

                                                 2AB= 2AD2 +1/4BC2 + 1/4BC2   

                                                     2AB= 2AD2 +1/2BC2 

                                                       2AB= 2AD2 +1/2AB2   

                                                    ( 2 - 1/2)AB = 2AD2

                                                       3/2AB2 = 2AD2

                                                         3AB2 = 4 AD2
