In a square PQRS, diagonal PR and QS intersect at O. The angle bisector ∠QPR meets SQ and RQ at U and T respectively. Find the ratio of OU : RT? |
1 : \(\sqrt {2}\) 1 : \(\sqrt {3}\) \(\sqrt {2}\) : 1 1 : 1 |
1 : \(\sqrt {2}\) |
Let PQ = 2 Since PQ = RQ hence U and T will be midpoins of OQ and RQ ∴ RT = 1 Now SQ = 2\(\sqrt {2}\), OU = \(\frac{OQ}{2}\) OU = \(\frac{2\sqrt {2}}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt {2}}\) OU : RT = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt {2}}\) : 1 OU : RT = 1 : \(\sqrt[]{2}\) |
