Geometry Question

OpenStudy (thesmartestderpalive):

What is it?

OpenStudy (mathmath333):

\(\text{ABC is an equilateral triangle. Point D is on AC and Point E is on BC, }\\ \text{such that AD=2CD and CE=EB. If we draw perpendiculars from D and E }\\ \text{to other two sides and find the sum of the length of two perpendiculars }\\ \text{for each set, that is, for D and E individually }\\ \text{and denote them as per (D) and per(E), then which}\\ \text{ of the following option will be correct. }\) \(\text{1) per (D) > per (E)}\\ \text{2) per (D) = per (E)}\\ \text{3) per (D) < per (E)}\\ \text{4) None of these}\\\)

OpenStudy (rational):

\(DF = DC\sin 60\) \(DG=AD\sin 60\) \(DF+DG=(DC+AD)\sin 60 = AC\sin 60\)

OpenStudy (rational):

by similar reasoning the sum of perpendiculars from \(E\) equals \(BC\sin 60\)

OpenStudy (rational):

since \(AC=BC\), the sums of perpendiculars are equal
