The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze each part of the question separately. ### Given: - Triangle \( ABC \) is right-angled at \( C \). - \( P \) and \( Q \) are the midpoints of sides \( CA \) and \( CB \) respectively. ### (i) Find \( 4AC^2 + BC^2 \) 1. **Identify the right triangle**: In triangle \( ACQ \), since \( C \) is the right angle, we can apply the Pythagorean theorem. \[ AQ^2 = AC^2 + CQ^2 \] 2. **Express \( AC^2 \)**: Rearranging the equation gives us: \[ AC^2 = AQ^2 - CQ^2 \] 3. **Express \( BC \)**: Since \( Q \) is the midpoint of \( CB \), we can express \( BC \) in terms of \( CQ \): \[ BC = 2CQ \] 4. **Substitute \( BC \)**: Now substituting \( BC \) into the equation: \[ 4AC^2 + BC^2 = 4(AQ^2 - CQ^2) + (2CQ)^2 \] 5. **Simplify the equation**: \[ = 4AQ^2 - 4CQ^2 + 4CQ^2 \] The \( -4CQ^2 \) and \( +4CQ^2 \) cancel out: \[ = 4AQ^2 \] ### **Final Result for (i)**: \[ 4AC^2 + BC^2 = 4AQ^2 \]
