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

I’m I right? If not change it for me
dangina [55]

The first and third are correct. They are equal.

The second is incorrect. This is because 1800 meters = 1.8 km (not 18 km). The answer you should have is a "less than sign" because 1.8 km is smaller than 18 km.

To go from meters to kilometers, you move the decimal point 3 spots to the left. This is the same as dividing by 1000.

To go from kilometers to meters, you move the decimal point 3 spots to the right. This is the same as multiplying by 1000.
