Q10 of 62 Page 180

Check whether AD is the bisector of ∠A of ΔABC in each of the following.

AB = 6 cm, AC = 8 cm, BD = 1.5 cm and CD = 3 cm.

Given: AB = 6 cm, AC = 8 cm, BD = 1.5 cm and CD = 3 cm


Required: To verify if AD is the bisector of ∠A of ΔABC


Consider the ΔABC,


Here, and


Here, we can clearly see that


∴We can say that AD is not the angle bisector of ∠A using Converse angle bisector theorem.


∴ No, AD is not the angle bisector of ∠A

In a ΔABC, AD is the internal bisector of ∠A, meeting BC at D.

If AB = x, AC = x–2, BD = x + 2 and DC = x–1 find the value of x.
