Answer: Segment GD is parallel to segment HC.
Step-by-step explanation:
In ΔAHC
AG=GH (given)...........1
As BD is the median of ΔABC bisecting AC at D
∴AD=DC.........2
⇒(from 1 and 2)
⇒segment GD is dividing the sides AH and AC in same ratio.
Therefore by the converse of Basic proportionality theorem,segment GD is parallel to segment HC.
Converse of basic probability theorem states that if a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line must be parallel to the third side.
Answer: The length of JF = 16 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: In triangle DEF, segment DJ is a perpendicular bisector of side EF.
i.e. DJ is perpendicular to EF and DJ divides EF into two equal parts EJ and JF. [The perpendicular bisector is a line that is perpendicular to a line segment and splits it into two congruent segments.]
If EJ is 3y-8 and JF is 7y-40.
Then,
JF= 7(8)-40 =56-40= 16 units
Hence, the length of JF = 16 units.
