In the given trapezium the diagonal BD, bisects diagonal AC in the ratio 2:1, thenAB is equal to..A)2 AB B) 2 BC C) 2 CD D) 2 BD |

Answer» Given, that the diagonal BD with 2 : 1 To prove : AB = 2CD Proof : In Δ AOC and Δ DOC AOB = COD OBA = ODC (Because DC is PARALLEL to AB, and DB is transversal. So, these are alternates) Δ AOB is same as Δ COD (By AA similarity) Now, AO/OC = AB/DC (Because in similar triangles sides are proportional) ➡️ 2/1 = AB/DC (Given that AO : OC = 2 : 1) So, AB = 2CD Hence proved. |
