Answer:

(i) In △ABD and △ACD,

AB=AC ....(since △ABC is isosceles)

AD=AD ....(common side)

BD=DC ....(since △BDC is isosceles)

ΔABD≅ΔACD .....SSS test of congruence,

∴∠BAD=∠CAD i.e. ∠BAP=∠PAC .....[c.a.c.t]......(i)

(ii) In △ABP and △ACP,

AB=AC ...(since △ABC is isosceles)

AP=AP ...(common side)

∠BAP=∠PAC ....from (i)

△ABP≅△ACP .... SAS test of congruence

∴BP=PC ...[c.s.c.t].....(ii)

∠APB=∠APC ....c.a.c.t.

(iii) Since △ABD≅△ACD

∠BAD=∠CAD ....from (i)

So, AD bisects ∠A

i.e. AP bisects∠A.....(iii)

In △BDP and △CDP,

DP=DP ...common side

BP=PC ...from (ii)

BD=CD ...(since △BDC is isosceles)

△BDP≅△CDP ....SSS test of congruence

∴∠BDP=∠CDP ....c.a.c.t.

∴ DP bisects∠D

So, AP bisects ∠D ....(iv)

From (iii) and (iv),

AP bisects ∠A as well as ∠D.

(iv) We know that

∠APB+∠APC=180

∘

....(angles in linear pair)

Also, ∠APB=∠APC ...from (ii)

∴∠APB=∠APC=

2

180

∘

=90

∘

BP=PC and ∠APB=∠APC=90

∘

Hence, AP is perpendicular bisector of

May someone help me with this problem?
borishaifa [10]

Given base and height of triangle: 16 in and 8 in respectively.

Formula to determine the area of a triangle ====> ½ × Base × Height

<u>Substitute the base and the height in the formula;</u>

⇒ ½ × Base × Height

⇒ ½ × 16 × 8

<u>Simplify the expression as needed;</u>

⇒ 8 × 8

⇒ 64 in²

Therefore, the area of the triangle is 64 in².
