Internal bisector of of meets side at . A line drawn through perpendicular to intersects the side at and side at . If and represent sides of , then


Options
- A is of and
- B
- C
- Dthe is isosceles
Correct answer
A. is of and
Step-by-step solution
We have, Again, $\quad A E=A D \sec \frac{A}{2}=\frac{2 b c}{b+c}\therefore A E$ is $\mathrm{HM}$ of b and c.\begin{aligned}E F & =E D+D F=2 D E=2 A D \tan \frac{A}{2}\\
& =2 \frac{2 b c}{b+c} \cos \frac{A}{2} \tan \frac{A}{2}=\frac{4 b c}{b+c} \sin \frac{A}{2}
\end{aligned}$A D \perp E F\Rightarrow \triangle A E F$ is isosceles.
