Question

in the given figure triangle ABC is equal to 90 degree and BD perpendicular to AC if BD is equal to 8 cm is equal to 4 cm find CD ​

Answer 1

Answer:

SOLUTION :

Given, BD = 8 cm, AD = 4 cm, ∠ABC = 90° and BD⊥AC.

we know that ,If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex containing a right angle of a right triangle to the hypotenuse then the triangle on each side of the perpendicular are similar to each other and to the whole triangle.

So, ΔDBA∼ΔDCB (A-A similarity)

BD/CD = AD/BD

[Since, triangles are similar, hence corresponding sides will be proportional]

BD² = AD x DC

(8)² = 4 x DC

64 = 4DC

DC = 64/4

DC = 16

Hence, the length of CD is 16 cm..
