Consider a semicircle of radius 1 unit constructed on the diameter AB , and let O be its centre. Let C be a point on AO such that AC : CO =2: 1 . Draw CD perpendicular to AO with D on the semicircle. Draw OE perpendicular to AD with E on AD. Let OE and CD intersects at H . Then DH equals
Options
- A1 5
- B1 3
- C1 2
- D5 -1 2
Correct answer
C. 1 2
Step-by-step solution
'E' is mid point of A D . array l 2 = 1 3 2 ² -1= 1 3 ² = 2 3 = 2 3 = 1- 2 3 = 1 3 array ED 1 = 1 3 DH = ED = 1 3 3 2 = 1 2
