two line segment AB 4.5and CD 6cm.using these measurements draw the line segment CD_AD
Answers
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..

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer
⇒ Draw a line segment AB=4.5cm
⇒ Take B as center and draw an angle of 60
o
.
⇒ Cut off BC=5.5cm
⇒ Take A as with radius 4.8cm and draw an arc.
⇒ Take C as with radius 5cm and draw an arc, which cuts off previous arc at point D
⇒ Join CD and AD.
