Question

in Δ ABC, AB=26cm, BC = 28 CM and the altitude AD = 24 cm. Calculate Ac​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

in triangle ADC,

AD=24cm

DC=14cm (as AD divides BC into two equal halves)

let AC be x

perimeter of the triangle ABD= 64cm

perimeter of the triangle =side+side+side

≈> 24+14+x = perimeter of the triangle ABD

≈> 38+x =64cmm

≈> 64-38 =x

≈>x= 26cm.....

hence side AC =26 cm
