Solution

The image contains a geometric problem in Vietnamese. I will translate the problem into English and then solve it.

Problem Translation:

Given:

  • ΔABC\Delta ABC, DD is the midpoint of ACAC.
  • EE is the midpoint of BCBC.
  • BDBD intersects AEAE at point OO.

a) Prove that AOB=COB\triangle AOB = \triangle COB.

b) Prove that AOB+BOC=180\angle AOB + \angle BOC = 180^\circ.

Solution:

Part a) Prove that AOB=COB\triangle AOB = \triangle COB.

Since DD and EE are midpoints of ACAC and BCBC respectively, we have:

  1. AD=DCAD = DC and BE=ECBE = EC.
  2. BDBD and AEAE are the medians of ABC\triangle ABC.
  3. OO is the centroid of ABC\triangle ABC, meaning AO=23AEAO = \frac{2}{3}AE and BO=23BDBO = \frac{2}{3}BD.

Now, let's consider the triangles AOB\triangle AOB and COB\triangle COB:

  • ABAB is common to both triangles.
  • AOB=COB\angle AOB = \angle COB since these angles are vertically opposite.
  • BO=BOBO = BO (common side).

Therefore, by the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) criterion, AOB=COB\triangle AOB = \triangle COB.

Part b) Prove that AOB+BOC=180\angle AOB + \angle BOC = 180^\circ.

From the result of part a), we know that AOB\triangle AOB and COB\triangle COB are congruent.

Since AOB\angle AOB and BOC\angle BOC are vertically opposite angles, they must be equal. Let AOB=θ\angle AOB = \theta.

Thus, AOB+BOC=θ+θ=2θ\angle AOB + \angle BOC = \theta + \theta = 2\theta.

However, since these angles are on a straight line formed by AOAO and BOBO, we have:

AOB+BOC=180\angle AOB + \angle BOC = 180^\circ

Hence, we have proven that AOB+BOC=180\angle AOB + \angle BOC = 180^\circ.


Do you want details or have any questions? Here are 5 related questions:

  1. How can we determine the centroid of a triangle given the coordinates of its vertices?
  2. What are the properties of medians in a triangle?
  3. Can you explain the Side-Angle-Side (SAS) criterion in detail?
  4. How does the centroid of a triangle divide the medians?
  5. What other methods can be used to prove angle relationships in geometric figures?

Tip: When working with triangle properties, remember that the centroid divides each median into a 2:1 ratio, which is crucial in many geometric proofs.
