Answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Since, <1 + <2 = 90 deg ( given)
& <3 + <2 = 90 deg ( by angle sum property of a triangle)
=> <1 = <3
So, tri BDA ~ tri CDB ( by AA similarity criterion)
=> BD/CD = DA/DB = BA/CB ( csst )
Or, BD/x = (5-x)/BD = 3/4
=> 3x = 4BD
=> BD = 3x/4 ……………….. (1)
Since (5-x)/BD = 3/4 (csst)
So, (5-x)/(3x/4) = 3/4
=> 80 - 16x = 9x
=> 25x = 80
=> x = 80/25 = 16/5 = 3.2 cm
Since BD = 3x/4 = (3 * 3.2)/4 = 3* 0.8 = 2.4
BD = 2.4 cm
If the angle B = 90°, AC is the hypotenuse and is equal to 5 cm by Pythagoras theorem.
Area of ∆ ABC = (1/2)(AB)(BC)
= (1/2)(3)(4) = 6 cm^2 …….(1)
If the hypotenuse is taken as the base and BD as the height then the area of the ∆ABC
= (1/2)(AC)(BD)
=> (1/2)(5)(BD) = 6 from (1)
=> BD = 12/5 = 2.4 cm.

❥First Question
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Given
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- ∠B = 90°
- AB = 3cm
- BC = 4cm
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
To Calculate
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- Measure of AC
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Solution
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
ABC is a right angle triangle.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So, by Pythagorous Theorem
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Therefore, Measure of AC is 5cm.
