Answer:
The coordinates of point C are (a,0).
Step-by-step explanation:
Given information: ABC is right isosceles triangle.
From the given figure it is noticed that the side BC is hypotenuse of the triangle ABC.
By pythagoras theorem,
Therefore hypotenuse cannot be equal to leg. So, we can say that in triangle ABC,
Length of AB is
From the figure it is noticed that the point C lies on the x-axis, therefore the y-coordinates of C is 0.
Let the coordinates of C be (x,0) and length of AC must be a.
Therefore coordinates of point C are (a,0).
Answer:
Given: Two Isosceles triangle ABC and Δ PBC having same base BC. AD is the median of Δ ABC and PD is the median of Δ PBC.
To prove: Point A,D,P are collinear.
Proof:
→Case 1. When vertices A and P are opposite side of Base BC.
In Δ ABD and Δ ACD
AB= AC [Given]
AD is common.
BD=DC [median of a triangle divides the side in two equal parts]
Δ ABD ≅Δ ACD [SSS]
∠1=∠2 [CPCT].........................(1)
Similarly, Δ PBD ≅ Δ PCD [By SSS]
∠ 3 = ∠4 [CPCT].................(2)
But, ∠1+∠2+ ∠ 3 + ∠4 =360° [At a point angle formed is 360°]
2 ∠2 + 2∠ 4=360° [using (1) and (2)]
∠2 + ∠ 4=180°
But ,∠2 and ∠ 4 forms a linear pair i.e Point D is common point of intersection of median AD and PD of ΔABC and ΔPBC respectively.
So, point A, D, P lies on a line.
CASE 2.
When ΔABC and ΔPBC lie on same side of Base BC.
In ΔPBD and ΔPCD
PB=PC[given]
PD is common.
BD =DC [Median of a triangle divides the side in two equal parts]
ΔPBD ≅ ΔPCD [SSS]
∠PDB=∠PDC [CPCT]
Similarly, By proving ΔADB≅ΔADC we will get, ∠ADB=∠ADC[CPCT]
As PD and AD are medians to same base BC of ΔPBC and ΔABC.
∴ P,A,D lie on a line i.e they are collinear.
