Question

ABCD is a rectangle with AD = 10. P is a point on BC such that ∠APD = 90°. If DP = 8 then the length of BP is

Options :

a) 6.4

b) 5.2

c) 4.8

d) 3.6

Answer 1

Answer:

AP = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

AD = 10 , PD = 8

By Pythagorean theorem,

AD² = AP² + PD²

10² = AP² + 8²

100 = AP² + 64

AP² = 100 - 64

AP² = 36

AP = √36

AP = 6
