Question

In the given figure ∠ABC=900
, BD ⊥ AC. If AB=6cm, BC=8cm, CA=10cm then
the length of AD is :

Answer 1

Answer: AD=5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

• AB=6CM

• BC=8CM

• ∵D is the midpoint of AC

           ∴ CA=10CM

• Now,AD+DC=AC

             ⇒AD=AC-DC

             ⇒AD=(10-5)

         So, AD = 5

           ∴  AD= 5 cm.

• Hence,the required length of AD is 5cm.
