Prove that the sum of the squares of the diagonals of parallelogram is equal to the sum of the squares of its sides.
Given that ABCD be a parallelogram.
Construction : We have to Draw AF and DE perpendicular on side DC and on extended side AB to use Pythagoras theorem
In ΔDEA, DE2 + EA2 = DA2 … (i)
Similarly, In ΔDEB,
DE2 + EB2 = DB2
DE2 + (EA + AB)2 = DB2 ( EB =EA + AB)
DE2 + EA2 + AB2 + 2EA × AB == DB2
(DE2 + EA2) + AB2 + 2EA × AB = DB2
DA2 + AB2 + 2EA × AB = DB2 … (ii)( Using -----1)
In ΔAFC, AC2 = AF2 + FC2
= AF2 + (DC − FD)2
= AF2 + DC2 + FD2 − 2DC × FD
= (AF2 + FD2) + DC2 − 2DC × FD
=AC2 = AD2 + DC2 − 2DC × FD ( using AD2 = AF2 + FD2)… (iii)
Now,given that ABCD is a parallelogram, AB = CD … (iv) And, BC = AD … (v)
Look In ΔDEA and ΔADF,
∠DEA = ∠AFD (Both 90°)
∠EAD = ∠ADF (EA || DF -Alternate angles )
AD = AD (Common)
∴ ΔEAD cong. ΔFDA (AAS congruence criterion)
⇒ EA = DF … (vi)
Adding equations (i) and (iii), we obtain
DA2 + AB2 + 2EA × AB + AD2 + DC2 − 2DC × FD = DB2 + AC2
DA2 + AB2 + AD2 + DC2 + 2EA × AB − 2DC × FD = DB2 + AC2
BC2 + AB2 + AD2 + DC2 + 2EA × AB − 2AB × EA = DB2 + AC2
[Using equations (iv) and (vi)]
AB2 + BC2 + CD2 + DA2 = AC2 + BD2
Q. In Fig. is the perpendicular bisector of the line segment DE, FA perpendiculat OB and F E intersects OB at the point C. Prove that 1/ OA + 1/OB = 1/OC
InΔ AOF and ΔBOD
<O = <O (Same angle) and <A = <B (each 90°)
Therefore, ΔAOF ~ ΔBOD (AA similarity)
So,OA/OB = FA/BD ------(1) (B.P.T)
Also, in ΔFAC and ΔEBC,
<A = <B (Each 90°)
<FCA = <ECB (Vertically opposite angles).
ΔFAC ~ ΔEBC (AA similarity).
So, FA/EB = AC/BC------(2)
But EB = DB (B is mid-point of DE)
Therefore,using (1) and (2)
AC/BC = OA/OB
OC–OA/ OB–OC = OA /OB
or OB . OC – OA . OB = OA . OB – OA . OC
or OB . OC + OA . OC = 2 OA . OB
or (OB + OA). OC = 2 OA . OB
1/ OA + 1/OB = 1/OC [ Dividing both the sides by OA . OB . OC]
Q. In the given figure, D is a point on side BC of ΔABC such that BD/ CD = AB/AC. Prove that AD is the bisector of ∠BAC.
Proof: Construction needed : Extend BA to P such that AP = AC then join PC
Given that BD/ CD = AB/AC but AP = AC
BD/ CD = AB/AP
AD || PC ( by using the converse of B.P.T.)
⇒ ∠BAD = ∠APC (Corresponding angles) … (1)
also, ∠DAC = ∠ACP (Alternate interior angles) … (2)But ∠APC = ∠ACP … (3) ( as AP = AC)
Using (1), (2), and (3), we obtain
∠BAD = ∠APC
⇒ AD is the bisector of the angle BAC.
Q.Nazima is fly fishing in a stream. The tip of her fishing rod is 1.8 m above the surface of the water and the fly at the end of the string rests on the water 3.6 m away and 2.4 m from a point directly under the tip of the rod. Assuming that her string (from the tip of her rod to the fly) is taut, ho much string does she have out ? If she pulls in the string at the rate of 5 cm per second, what will be the horizontal distance of the fly from her after 12 seconds?
