Question

BO and CO are respectively the bisectors of $∠ B$ and $∠ C$ of $Δ A B C$ . AO produced meets BC at P.

Show that [4 MARKS]

(i) $\frac{A B}{B P} = \frac{A O}{O P}$

(ii) $\frac{A C}{C P} = \frac{A O}{O P}$

(iii) $\frac{A B}{A C} = \frac{B P}{P C}$

(iv) $A P$ is the bisector of $∠ B A C$ .

Solution

Each proof : 1 Mark each

(i) In $Δ A B P$ , BO is the bisector of $∠ B$

$∴ \frac{A B}{B P} = \frac{A O}{O P}$ [Angle bisector theorem]

(ii) In $Δ A C P$ , OC is the bisector of $∠ C$ .

$∴ \frac{A C}{C P} = \frac{A O}{O P}$ [Angle bisector theorem]

(iii) We have, proved that

$\frac{A B}{B P} = \frac{A O}{O P}$ and $\frac{A C}{C P} = \frac{A O}{O P}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{A B}{B P} = \frac{A C}{C P}$

$\Rightarrow \frac{A B}{A C} = \frac{B P}{P C}$

(iv) As proved above that in $Δ A B C$ , we have

$\frac{A B}{A C} = \frac{B P}{P C}$

$\Rightarrow A P$ is the bisector of $∠ B A C$ .
