In a triangle ABC , angle C=90° ,AC=5cm , BC=12cm. The bisector of angle a meets BC at D. The length of AD = 4.61cm^2.
Stepwise explanation is given below:
- It is given that the AC=5cm, BC=12cm.
area of triangle = (1/2) × base×height
- If we take AC as perpendicular then BC will be base.
- Then area of triangle = (1/2)× 5×12 = 30 cm²
also, by Pythagoras' theorem,
BC² = AC² +BC²
=(5)² + (12(² = 169
⇒BC = 13 cm
now, if AD is perpendicular then AB is the base
- Area of triangle = (1/2)× AB ×AD
⇒30 = (1/2)× 13×AD
⇒AD = 60/13 =4.61 cm
