Step-by-step explanation:
In triangle ABC & ADB
/_ A = /_A (common)
/_ABC = /_ ADB (each 90)
Therefore Triangle ABC similar to Triangle ADB
=> AB/AD = AC/AB
=> AB2= AD x AC
=> AB2= 4 x 9 (AC=AD+CD = 4+5 = 9 cm)
=> AB2= 36
=> AB = 6 cm
In Triangle ABD using Pythagoras Theorem
AB2= AD2+ BD2
62 = 42 + BD2
BD2= 36 - 16 = 20
BD = 2√5
