Question

5. In the figure, AABK E AACK. Given that ZAKB = 90°, ZACK = 62, AB = 17 cm and BK = 8 cm, find () ZBAC (ii) the length of BC.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hence CD=16cm

Answer 2

∠BDC=90

∘

∠ABC=90

∘

Let ∠BCD=x

∘

Using triangle sum property in △BDC, ∠DBC=90−x

∘

Also ∠ABD=x

∘

Using triangle sum property in △ADB, ∠BAD=90−x

∘

Now considering △BDC and △ADB

∠BDC=∠BDA [∵∠BDC=∠BDA=90

∘

]

∠DBC=∠DAB [∵∠DBC=∠DAB=(90−x)

∘

]

So by AA

△BDC∼△ADB

Hence

CD

BD

=

BD

AD

CD

8

=

4

CD=16

Hence CD=16cm
