Question 11

In the given figure, ∠B = 90^°, XY || BC, AB = 12cm, AY = 8cm and AX: XB = 1: 2 = AY: YC. Find the lengths of AC and BC.

Given that AX: XB = 1: 2 = AY: YC.

Let x be the common multiple for which this proportion gets satisfied.

So, AX = 1x and XB = 2x

AX + XB = 1x + 2x = 3x

⇒ AB = 3x .….(A - X - B)

⇒ 12 = 3x

⇒ x = 4

AX = 1x = 4 and XB = 2x = 2 × 4 = 8

Similarly,

AY = 1y and YC = 2y

AY = 8…(given)

⇒ 8 = y

∴ YC = 2y = 2 × 8 = 16

∴ AC = AY + YC = 8 + 16 = 24 cm

∆ABC is a right angled triangle. …. Given

∴ By Pythagoras Theorem, we get

⇒ AB² + BC² = AC²
