Part (i)

We're told that \angle A = 60^{\circ} which means angle DAB is 60 degrees. This angle is cut into two equal halves of 30 degrees each (for angles DAP and PAB) due to segment AP being a bisector of angle DAB.

Since ABCD is a parallelogram, the adjacent angles A and B are supplementary. A = 60 leads to...

A+B = 180

B = 180 - A

B = 180-60

B = 120

Angle ABC is 120 degrees which splits in half to get 60. The angles PBA and PBC are 60 degrees each.

Focus on triangle PAB. We found A = 30 and B = 60 earlier. That must mean:

P+A+B = 180

P+30+60 = 180

P+90 = 180

P = 180-90

P = 90

Triangle PAB is a right triangle with angle P being the 90 degree angle. This is another way of saying angle APB is 90 degrees.

=====================================================

Part (ii)

From the previous part, we know that angles DAP and PAB are 30 degrees each. The alternate interior angles DPA and PAB are equal because we have a parallelogram, so angle DPA is also 30 degrees.

For triangle DPA, the base angles A and P are congruent (30 degrees each). This leads immediately to the fact triangle DPA is isosceles. The congruent sides are opposite the congruent base angles.

Therefore, AD = DP

-----------------

Also from part (i), we found that angles PBA and PBC were 60 degrees each.

Since we have a parallelogram, the alternate interior angles PBA and BPC are congruent, meaning that angle BPC is also 60.

For triangle PBC, we have the interior angles of:

  • P = 60
  • B = 60
  • C = x = unknown for now

P+B+C = 180

60+60+x = 180

120+x = 180

x = 180-120

x = 60

Each interior angle of triangle PBC is 60 degrees. Triangle PBC is equilateral. By definition, equilateral triangles have all sides the same length.

Therefore, PB = PC = BC.

=====================================================

Part (iii)

ABCD is a parallelogram with congruent opposite sides.

Let AD = BC = x

From part (ii), we found that AD and DP were the same length. So DP = x as well.

Also from part (ii), we found that BC = PC, so PC = x

We can then say:

DC = DP + PC

DC = x + x

DC = 2x

DC = 2*AD

Prove by mathematical induction that 1+2+3+...+n= n(n+1)/2 please can someone help me with this ASAP. Thanks​
Iteru [2.4K]

Let

P(n):\ 1+2+\ldots+n = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}

In order to prove this by induction, we first need to prove the base case, i.e. prove that P(1) is true:

P(1):\ 1 = \dfrac{1\cdot 2}{2}=1

So, the base case is ok. Now, we need to assume P(n) and prove P(n+1).

P(n+1) states that

P(n+1):\ 1+2+\ldots+n+(n+1) = \dfrac{(n+1)(n+2)}{2}=\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}

Since we're assuming P(n), we can substitute the sum of the first n terms with their expression:

\underbrace{1+2+\ldots+n}_{P(n)}+n+1 = \dfrac{n(n+1)}{2}+n+1=\dfrac{n(n+1)+2n+2}{2}=\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}

Which terminates the proof, since we showed that

P(n+1):\ 1+2+\ldots+n+(n+1) =\dfrac{n^2+3n+2}{2}

as required
