(a) Write down a pair of congruent triangle.
(b) Do the in-centre and the circumcentre of △ABC lie on AD? Explain your answer.
(c) If AB = 17 cm and CD = 8 cm, find the area of △ABC. (6 marks)

(a) △ABD  △ACD. 1A. (with correct corresponding side)

(b) ∵ △ABD  △ACD
∴ BAD = CAD 1M
∴ AD is the angle bisector of BAC.
∴ The in-centre of △ABC lies on AD.
∵ AB = AC and BAD = CAD. 1M
∴ AD  BC
∵ BD = CD and AD  BC.
∴ AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC.
∴ The circumcentre of △ABC lies on
AD. 1A f.t. for any correct

(c) BD = CD = 8 cm
In △ABD,

another, without replacement. Find the probability that
(a) (i) the 2 balls are red,
(ii) the 2 balls are different in colour
In a bazaar, there is a game in which all participants should pay $16 before joining the game. In
the game, each participant should draw two balls at random from box X without replacement. If
two red balls are drawn, he/she will have a prize of $100. If the colours of the two balls are
different, he/she will have a prize of $10. If two blue balls are drawn, he/she will have a prize of
$8.
