In triangle LMN, LM = 8cm, MN = 6cm and LMN = 90°X and Y are the midpoints of MN and LN respectively.Find YXN and YN.​

Answer»

\textbf{Converse of Basic proportionality theorem:}

\text{If a line divides two sides of a <klux>TRIANGLE</klux> in the same ratio,}

\text{then the line is parallel to the third side}

\textbf{Given:}

\text{In $\triangle$LMN, LM=8cm, MN=6 cm $\<klux>ANGLE</klux>{LMN}=90^{\circ}$}

\textbf{To <klux>FIND</klux>:}

\angle{YXN}\;\text{and}\;YN

\text{In right angled $\triangle$LMN, by pythagoras theorem}

LN^2=LM^2+MN^2

LN^2=8^2+6^2

LN^2=64+36

LN^2=100

LN=10\;\text{cm}

\text{Since X and Y are midpoints of MN and LN,}

MX=XN=3\;\text{cm}\;\text{and}\;NY=LY=5\;\text{cm}

\implies\dfrac{NX}{MX}=1\;\text{and}\;\dfrac{NY}{LY}=1

\implies\bf\dfrac{NX}{MX}=\dfrac{NY}{LY}

\text{By converse of basic proportionality theorem, }

\text{XY is parallel to ML}

\implies\bf\angle{YXN}=90^{\circ} \text{($\because$ corresponding angles are equal})

\therefore\textbf{YN=5 cm and $\bf\angle{YXN}=90^{\circ}$}
