= 52 + 38
= 90
Consider right-angled triangle ABC.
BC 2 = AC 2 − AB 2 (Pyth. theorem)
BC = 25 2 − 20 2 km
= 15 km
∴ The distance between B and C is 15 km.

= 88.9 (cor. to 3 sig. fig.)
∴ The true bearing of C from A is 088.9º.

12 Let (m, n) and (r, s) be the coordinates of P and Q respectively. 1

∵ AP = PQ = QB
∴ AP : PB = 1 : 2
∴ By the section formula for internal division, we have

(a) CDB = ABD alt. s, CD // BA 1

∵ BD is an angle bisector of
△ABC. given 1
∴ ABD = DBC
∴ CDB = DBC 1
∴ CB = DC sides opp. equal s
1
∴ △BCD is an isosceles triangle.
(b) ∵ AC is an angle bisector of 1
△BCD. given
∴ BCE = ECD
CB = DC proved in (a)
∴ BE = ED and CE ⊥ BD prop. of isos. △
∴ CE is the perpendicular bisector
of BD in △BCD.
