Question

In a triangle ABC it is given that AB is equal to 6 cm and AC is equal to 8 cm and AD is an angle bisector

Answer 1

Answer:

By Angle bisector theorem: which states that, the ratio of any 2 sides of a triangle is equal to the ratio of the lengths of the segments formed on its third side, by the angle bisector of the angle formed by those 2 sides.

So, here, AB/AC = BD/DC

=> 6/5 = 3 / DC

=> DC = 15/6 = 5/2 = 2.5 cm
