Question 11a and b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry b and c actually

hartnn (hartnn):

know similarity of triangles ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yah just need help with b adn c not a

hartnn (hartnn):

can u prove ABC and ACM are similar?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes ... its equilangular basically

hartnn (hartnn):

so do you know that corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

hartnn (hartnn):

can you apply that in triangles ACM and BCM ?

hartnn (hartnn):

oh, sorry i mentioned ABC and ACM earlier it should be ACM and BCM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see what you're getting at

hartnn (hartnn):

if you equate corresponding sides as equal , you directly get CM^2 as AM*BM

hartnn (hartnn):

sorry , proportional*

hartnn (hartnn):

for part c) you take triangles ABC and BCM

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got AM=BM * x^2 where x was the reduction factor or ratio

hartnn (hartnn):

what? how ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i did substitution... but i also got your answer

hartnn (hartnn):

good :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnx so much XD
