Given information

An isosceles triangle with vertices A, B, C, and . Point P is the angular bisector from B on the side AC.

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1.

Now, 

Construct a right-angled triangle by drawing a line from P which is perpendicular to MC, let the intersection point be Q.

 

Further, move this triangle to the coordinate axis and let P(x,y).

From the right-angled triangle BPQ:

 

 

Without loss of generality, take the length of the base as 1. So, the length QC = 1-x.

From the right-angled triangle CPQ :
