The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the configuration of the square ABCD and the square AXYZ described on line AX, where D is located within the square AXYZ. We will use geometric properties and relationships to derive the necessary conclusions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Points and Squares**: - Let ABCD be a square with vertices A, B, C, and D. - Let X be any point inside the square ABCD. - A square AXYZ is constructed on line segment AX such that D lies within the square AXYZ. 2. **Understanding the Configuration**: - Since AXYZ is a square, all sides are equal, and all angles are right angles (90 degrees). - The square AXYZ is oriented such that the line segment AX is one of its sides. 3. **Analyzing the Triangles**: - Consider triangles ABX and ACZ. - Triangle ABX is formed by points A, B, and X. - Triangle ACZ is formed by points A, C, and Z. - We will analyze the angles in these triangles. 4. **Angle Relationships**: - Let angle BAX be θ. - Then, angle XAD will be 90° - θ, since AX is a straight line and the angles on a straight line sum to 180°. - For triangle AXYZ, angle ZAX is 90° because it is a square. 5. **Using Angle Sum Property**: - In triangle AXYZ, we have: - Angle ZAD + Angle XAD = 90°. - Since angle XAD is 90° - θ, we can substitute: - Angle ZAD + (90° - θ) = 90°. - This simplifies to: - Angle ZAD = θ. 6. **Establishing Congruence**: - Now we have: - Angle BAX = θ and Angle ZAD = θ. - By the Angle-Angle (AA) criterion for triangle similarity, triangles ABX and ACZ are similar. 7. **Conclusion**: - Since triangles ABX and ACZ are similar, the corresponding sides are proportional. - Therefore, the length of BX is equal to the length of DJ (where D is the vertex of square AXYZ opposite to A). - Hence, we conclude that BX = DJ. ### Final Answer: The correct conclusion is that **BX = DJ**.
