Prove that these perpendiculars are equal in measure. Given BDis bisector of “ABC. P is point on BD and PL, p 7 are PM are perpendicular. to AB and CB respectively To prove PL= PM Proof In ABLP <> ABMP Common ZBLP =. Each right angle (given) ZLBP = ZMBP Given BDis bisector of angle B <. ABLP = ABMP SAAZ=S.AA Corresponding sides of congruent So PL = PM F triangles Q3 In a triangle ABC, the bisects of 2B and ZC meet \ in point I prove that I is equidistant from the three sides by AABC M \ Given In ABC, the bisector of 2B and ZC meet at I and IL, IM, and INare perpendiculars to the three sides of AABC. B i € To prove IL= IM= IN Proof Common Given BI is bisector of 2B Given each angle is rights angles SAASSAA Corresponding sides of = A’s So Ls IN__i) Corresponding sides of = As from (i) and (ii) “ IL= IM= IN “. Lis equidistant from the three sides of AABC. Theorem 10.1 If two angles of a triangles are congruent then the sides opposite to them are also congruent A Given In AABC, 4B = To prove AB = AC Construction B. c Draw the bisector of ZA, meeting BC at point D D Proof Serena een In AABD <> AACD AD =AD Common 2B =ZC Given ZBAD = ZCAD Construction AABD = AACD SAA=S.AA Hence AB = AC (Corresponding sides of congruent tria Example 1 If one angle of a right triangle is of 30°, the hypotenuse is twice as long as the side opposite to the angle. Given In AABC,m2ZB=90° and mZC = 30° a To pr ‘o prove 7 mAC=2mAB Constructions At, B construct /CBD of 30° Li 60 fc B Let BD cut ACat the point D. Proof In AABD,m/ A=60° mZABC=90°,m2C = 30° mZABD=m2 ABC, mCBD=60° m2 ABC = 90°, mZCBD = 30° .. mADB = 60° Sum of measures of Zs of a A is 180° , ABD is equilateral Each of its angles is equal to 60° -.AB=BD=CD Sides of equilateral A In ABCD,BD = CD ZC = ZCBD (each of 30), ThusmAC = mad +mCD] ABandCD = BD = AB =mAB+mAB =2(mAB) Example 2 A If the bisector of an angle of a triangle bisects the side opposite to it, the triangle is isosceles. Given In AABC,AD bisect ZA and BD = CD To prove 2 AB=AC Construction Produce AD to £, and take ED = AD Joint Cto E Proof In AADB <& EDC AD=ED Construction ZADB = ZEDC Vertical angles BD=CD Given S.AS, Postulate Corresponding sides Corresponding angles Given Each= ZBAD ZE= ZCAD (proved) Hence AB = AC From (i) and (ii)
