The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given information about triangle ABC, where the median from vertex A to side BC is perpendicular to BC. Let's go through the solution step by step. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Triangle**: We have triangle ABC with vertices A, B, and C. The median from vertex A to side BC is drawn, and we denote the point where the median intersects BC as point D. 2. **Properties of the Median**: Since D is the midpoint of BC (because D is where the median intersects BC), we have: \[ BD = DC \] 3. **Perpendicularity**: The problem states that the median AD is perpendicular to BC. Therefore, we have: \[ \angle ADB = 90^\circ \quad \text{and} \quad \angle ADC = 90^\circ \] 4. **Congruent Triangles**: We can now consider triangles ADB and ADC. Since AD is common to both triangles, and we have: - \(BD = DC\) (as D is the midpoint), - \(\angle ADB = \angle ADC = 90^\circ\), we can apply the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) congruence criterion. Thus, we conclude: \[ \triangle ADB \cong \triangle ADC \] 5. **Angles in Congruent Triangles**: From the congruence of triangles ADB and ADC, we can deduce that: \[ \angle ADB = \angle ADC \] This implies that: \[ \angle B = \angle C \] 6. **Conclusion**: Since angles B and C are equal, we can express this in terms of tangent: \[ \tan B = \tan C \] Therefore, we can conclude: \[ \tan B - \tan C = 0 \] Hence, the correct option is option B. ### Final Answer: The correct statement is that \( \tan B - \tan C = 0 \). ---
