AMC8 2006 · Q19. It mainly tests Triangles (properties), Congruence.

Triangle ABC is an isosceles triangle with AB = BC. Point D is the midpoint of both BC and AE, and CE is 11 units long. Triangle ABD is congruent to triangle ECD. What is the length of BD?
三角形 ABC 是等腰三角形,AB = BC。点 D 是 BC 和 AE 的中点,CE 长 11 个单位。三角形 ABD 与三角形 ECD 全等。BD 的长度是多少?
stem
(A) 4 4
(B) 4.5 4.5
(C) 5 5
(D) 5.5 5.5
(E) 6 6
Answer
Correct choice: (D)
正确答案:(D)
Solution
(D) Because triangles $ABD$ and $ECD$ are congruent, and triangle $ABC$ is isosceles, $EC = AB = BC = 11$. That means $BD = \frac{11}{2}$ or $5.5$.
(D)因为三角形 $ABD$ 与 $ECD$ 全等,且三角形 $ABC$ 是等腰三角形,所以 $EC = AB = BC = 11$。这意味着 $BD = \frac{11}{2}$,即 $5.5$。
