(i) MD 11 BC, meets AC at D. :. D is mid-point of AC. [A line through the mid-point of a side of a triangle parallel to other D bisects and third side.] C B 122 (f.i) MD II BC and AC is' transversal. ' .. LADM = LACB [Corresponding angles] L ADM = 90° [•: LACB = 90°] MD .L AC. (iii) Consider triangles ADM and CDM, AD = DC MD is common. - ' [From result (i)] LADM =•L. CDM [90° each] [Froin. result (ii)] A ADM ::: A CDM [SAS] ;•. MA.= = 2AB. [•: 14 is mid-point of AB)] (](]
