Question
In a , H is the orthocentre and D is the mid point of Segment HD is produced to T such that HD=DT. Then the ratio equals to ;
- 1:2
- 2:1
- 3:2
- 2:3
The correct answer is: 2:1
We should find the ratio of AT to BC using all the given data
Let us assume that the circumcenter of △ABC is O and is situated at the origin of the coordinate plane. Hence, the vector notation for all the vertices is
OA=a
OB=b
OC=c
Also, as O is the circumcenter of △ABC,
a=b=c=R (circum-radius)
Since D is mid-point of BC, d=2b+c
∴a+b+c=a+2d
Also, 2OD=AH as H is the orthocentre and it divides height in 2:1 ratio.
∴a+b+c=a+2d=OA+AH=OH=h … (1)
According to given information, HD=DT
⟹2b+c=2h+t
⟹2b+c=2a+b+c+t
⟹a=−t
⟹AT=2a
⟹∣AT∣=2∣a∣=2R
Also, from property of side-length of triangle,
BC=2RsinA=R (∵∠A=30∘)
∴AT=2BC
AT/BC=2:1
Hence 2:1 is the correct option
