Congruency & Inequality
Through D,the middle point of the side BC of a ABC a straight line is drawn to meet AC in
E and AB produced in F so that AE = AF. Prove that BF = CE .
2. ABC is an equilateral triangle . Points D,E,F are taken on the sides AB,BC, CA respectively so
that AD = BE = CF. Show that AE, BF ,CD enclose an equilateral triangle.
3. The sides AB,BC of a square ABCD are produced to P and Q respectively so that BP = CQ. Prove
that PD and AQ are equal and perpendicular.
6. Prove that the bisector AE of A of ABC is not greater than median AD from the same vertex.
7. Q,R are the mid-points of the sides AC,AB of isosceles ABC . The median AD is produced to E
so that DE = AD. EQ and ER are joined to cut BC in N and M respectively. Prove that AMEN is
a rhombus.
8. If any point P is taken inside the square ABCD such that PA= PC. Prove that B,P, D are collinear.
9. If two sides and enclosed median of a triangle are respectively equal to two sides and the enclosed
median of another triangle, then prove that the triangles are congruent.
10. ABC is a triangle in which B 2C . D is a point on BC such that AD bisects BAC and
AB = CD. Prove that BAC 720 .
12. PQRS is a quadrilateral in which diagonals PR and QS intersect at O, Then show that
(i) PQ + QR + RS + SP > PR +QS
(ii) PQ + QR + RS + SP < 2 (PR + QS)
13. Prove that the perimeter of a triangle is greater than the sum of its three
(a) medians (b) altitudes
