उत्तर
Pythagoras theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the remaining two sides.
First, we consider the ΔBDC and applying Pythagoras theorem we get,
DB2 = DC2 + BC2
DB2 = 122 + 32
DB2 = 144 + 9
DB2 = 153
Now, we consider the ΔABD and applying Pythagoras theorem we get,
DA2 = DB2 + BA2
132 = 153 + BA2
BA2 = 169 - 153
BA = 4
The length of AB is 4 cm.

Activity: From given figure, In ∆ABC, ∠ABC = 90°, ∠ACB = 30°
∴ ∠BAC = `square`
∴ ∆ABC is 30° – 60° – 90° triangle
∴ In ∆ABC by property of 30° – 60° – 90° triangle.
∴ AB = `1/2` AC and `square` = `sqrt(3)/2` AC
∴ `square` = `1/2 xx 12` and BC = `sqrt(3)/2 xx 12`
∴ `square` = 6 and BC = `6sqrt(3)`
