Question

In a right angled triangle abc right angled at b with ab=15cm and bc=10cm and ac=25 cm. a perpendicular drawn from bd to side ac . find ad and dc

Answer 1

when we draw perpendicular bd to side ac it makes the side ac =ad +dc
and also ad=dc
then,
ac =ad+dc
so, ac=ad+ad
25=2ad
25/2=ad
12.5=ad


ad=dc
12.5=12.5
