(i) Consider triangles AMC and
DMB,
We have AM = BM
CM = DM
[Given]
[Given]
and LAMC = LBMD [Vertically opposite angles]
A AMC ::4 BMD [SAS rule]
(ii) As
L BAC = L DBA [CPCT, from part (i)]
and AB is the transversal.
74 MATHEMATICS-IX
So, DB 11 AC ...(i)
We have
So, AC .l BC DB .lBC ...(ii) [Given]
[From (i ) and (ii)]
i.e., L DBC is a right angle, i.e., L DBC = 90°.
(Ui) Consider triangles ABC and DCB.
We have AC = DB [Since l\AMC :: LillMD; result (i)]
BC = CB [Common]
and L ACB = L DBC
.. .'.\ DB ::.'.\ ACB
(iu) AB DC .= AB
=> 2CM = AB

=> CM = -AB.
