The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the areas of two parts into which a non-right angle bisector divides a right-angled isosceles triangle, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Triangle**: - We have a right-angled isosceles triangle, let's denote it as triangle ABC where angle C is the right angle. Thus, angles A and B are both 45 degrees. - Let the lengths of the equal sides AB and BC be \( x \). Therefore, the hypotenuse AC will be \( \sqrt{2}x \). 2. **Draw the Angle Bisector**: - We will draw the angle bisector AD from vertex A to side BC. This bisector will divide the triangle into two smaller triangles: ABD and ADC. 3. **Apply the Angle Bisector Theorem**: - According to the Angle Bisector Theorem, the ratio of the segments created by the bisector on the opposite side is equal to the ratio of the other two sides. - Thus, we have: \[ \frac{BD}{DC} = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{x}{\sqrt{2}x} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] - Let \( BD = k \) and \( DC = \sqrt{2}k \). 4. **Express the Lengths**: - From the ratio, we can express \( BD \) and \( DC \) in terms of \( x \): \[ BD = \frac{x}{1 + \sqrt{2}}, \quad DC = \frac{\sqrt{2}x}{1 + \sqrt{2}} \] 5. **Calculate Areas of Triangles ABD and ADC**: - The area of triangle ABD can be calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Area}_{ABD} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times BD \times AB \] Here, the base is \( BD \) and the height is \( AB = x \): \[ \text{Area}_{ABD} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{x}{1 + \sqrt{2}} \times x = \frac{x^2}{2(1 + \sqrt{2})} \] - Similarly, for triangle ADC: \[ \text{Area}_{ADC} = \frac{1}{2} \times DC \times AB = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{\sqrt{2}x}{1 + \sqrt{2}} \times x = \frac{\sqrt{2}x^2}{2(1 + \sqrt{2})} \] 6. **Find the Ratio of Areas**: - Now, we need the ratio of the areas: \[ \frac{\text{Area}_{ABD}}{\text{Area}_{ADC}} = \frac{\frac{x^2}{2(1 + \sqrt{2})}}{\frac{\sqrt{2}x^2}{2(1 + \sqrt{2})}} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \] 7. **Final Result**: - Therefore, the ratio of the areas of triangles ABD and ADC is: \[ 1 : \sqrt{2} \]
