(a) Prove that APB = AQC. (b) Prove that APB AQC. (5 marks)
Alternative method for Q.2
Adding the altitude AD in the triangle.
As ABC is an isos. with AB = AC, AD is also a median
area of ABC = 12 (CF)(AB) = 12 (AD)(BC)
ie. CF AB = AD BC CF2 AB2 = AD2 BC2
(BC2 BF2) AB2 = AD2 BC2 BC2 (AB2 AD2) = BF2 AB2
BC2 BD2 = BF2 AB2 14 BC
2 BC2 = BF2 AB2 BC2 = 2 AB BF
2. In the figure, AB = AC and CF is an altitude of ABC.
Prove that BC 2 = 2 AB BF. (9 marks) (Hint: Draw an altitude of ABC through A.)
Construct the altitude AN as shown in the figure. In ABN and ACN, 1. AN = AN (common side) 2. ANB = ANC = 90o (as constructed) 3. AB = AC (given) 4. ABN ACN (SAS) In BCF and BNA, 5.
