△ABC is an equilateral triangle in which D, E and F are the points on sides BC, AC and AB, respectively, such that AD ⊥ BC, BE ⊥ AC and CF ⊥ AB. Which of the following is true? |
$7AB^2 = 9AD^2$ $2AB^2 = 3AD^2$ $4AC^2 = 5BE^2$ $3AC^2 = 4BE^2$ |
$3AC^2 = 4BE^2$ |
We know that, Height of the equilateral triangle = \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{2}\) × Side Here, Side = AB = BC = CA Height = AD = BE = CF \(\frac{\sqrt {3}}{2}\) × AC = BE \(\sqrt {3}\) AC = 2BE Squaring on both sides = 3 AC2 = 4 BE2 |
