उत्तर
∆ ABD
∠ACB = ∠ACD = 90°
and AB = 10 cm, BC = 6 cm and AD = 17 cm
To find:
(i) Length of AC
(ii) Length of CD
Proof:
(i) In right-angled triangle ABC
BC = 6 cm, AB = 110 cm
According to Pythagoras Theorem,
AB2 = AC2 + BC2
(10)2 = (AC)2 + (6)2
100 = (AC)2 + 36
AC2 = 100 − 36 = 64 cm
AC2 = 64 cm
∴ AC = `sqrt(8xx8)` = 8 cm
(ii) In right-angle triangle ACD
AD = 17 cm, AC = 8 cm
According to Pythagoras Theorem,
(AD)2 = (AC)2 + (CD)2
(17)2 = (8)2 + (CD)2
289 – 64 = CD2
225 = CD2
CD =`sqrt(15xx15)` = 15 cm
