The length of perpendicular AD
from the apex of a triangle is 6cm.
and angle A is less than 90°. If
BC = 18 cms. and AC = 10cms,
then what will be the length of
side AB?
(1) 8 cm. (2) 9 cm.
(3) 11 cm
(4) None of these

Step-by-step explanation:
As
AD is drawn perpendicular to BC in right angled
ΔABC, it is apparent that ΔABC is right angled at ∠A.
As can be seen ∠B is common in ΔABC as well as ΔDBA (here we have written two triangles this way as ∠A=∠D, ∠B=∠B and ∠C=∠BAD) - as both are right angled (obviously third angles too would be equal) and therefore we have
ΔABC≈ΔDBA and hence
BC/AB=AB/BD=AC/AD
therefore, we have
BC/AB=AB/BD or
AB²=BC×BD=9×4=36
Hence
AB= 6cm
