Question

In an equilateral $straight triangle ABC text , end text$ the side BC is trisected at D . Prove that $9 A D squared equals 7 A B squared$
.

The correct answer is: Hence proved

Solution :-
Aim :- Prove that $9 A D squared equals 7 A B squared$
Hint :- let the side of equilateral triangle be x , then we get height of equilateral
triangle as $left parenthesis x square root of 3 right parenthesis divided by 2$ .Now , Find length of DE and apply pythagoras theorem in
Right angle triangle ADE to find length of AD in terms of AB.
Explanation(proof ) :-
In equilateral triangle all sides are equal
Let , AB = BC = CA = x
Given BD = ⅓ BC = x/3 ( BC is trisected at D)
n equilateral triangle ,the altitudes and medians coincide
so,AE is median also i.e E is midpoint of BC
BE = x/2
From diagram ,DE = BE - BD $equals x over 2 minus x over 3 equals x over 6$
We get height of equilateral triangle when side x is $fraction numerator x square root of 3 over denominator 2 end fraction$
Applying pythagoras theorem on triangle ADE
We get, $A D squared equals D E squared plus A E squared equals open parentheses x over 6 close parentheses squared plus open parentheses fraction numerator x square root of 3 over denominator 2 end fraction close parentheses squared$
$A D squared equals x squared over 36 plus fraction numerator 3 x squared over denominator 4 end fraction equals fraction numerator 28 x squared over denominator 36 end fraction equals 7 over 9 x squared$
Substitute x by AB as x = AB
$A D squared equals 7 over 9 A B squared not stretchy rightwards double arrow 9 A D squared equals 7 A B squared$

Hence proved
