Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:BO = 7⃣▪2⃣ cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given : ABCD is a trapezium in which AB||CD.
It is also given that,
AB = 9 cm,
CD = 6 cm and
BD = 12 cm.
Now,
Let BO = x cm
Then, DO = ( 12 - x ) cm
Now, In Δ AOB and Δ COD, we get
< AOB = < COD ( vertically opposite angles)
and,
< OAB = < OCD ( as AB||CD and AC is the transversal so eternal interior angles )
➡️ Δ AOB ~ Δ COD ( by AA similarity criterion )
Now,
AB = BO
----- -----
CD DO
9 cm = x cm
➡️ -------- --------
6 cm (12 - x) cm
x = 3
➡️ ------ ----
12 - x 2
➡️ 2x = 3( 12 - x)
➡️ 2x = 36 - 3x
➡️ 3x + 2x = 36
➡️ 5x = 36
➡️ x = 36 / 5
➡️ x = 7.2
Hence, BO is equal to 7.2 cm.
