Answer:
as perpendicular drawn from vertex B. and ∠B=90°. triangle ABC is right angle triangle.
so we know that
BD²= CD*DA
⇒BD²= 7*3
⇒BD= √21
so length of BD is √21 cm.

GIVEN: A right triangle ABC. D bisects AC. AD= DC & BD = 4.5cm
TO FIND: the length of AC.
CONSTRUCTION: Extend BD up to P, such that BD = DP = 4.5cm. Join AP & CP.
Since in quadrilateral ABCP, diagonals bisect each other. So, ABCP is a parallelogram.
But angle B = 90°
So, parallelogram ABCP should be a rectangle.
Therefore, diagonals AC = BP ( diagonals of a rectangle are equal)
But BP = 4.5+4.5 = 9cm
So, AC = 9cm.
