Question

In $Δ A B C$ , $D$ is a point on side $B C$ . If $A C = 3$ cm, $A D = 3$ cm, $B D = 8$ cm and $C D = 1$ and then $A B$ is:

Solution

From $Δ A B P, x^{2} - {8.5}^{2} = A P^{2}$
From $Δ A D P, 9 - \frac{1}{4} = A P^{2}$
$\Rightarrow x^{2} - {8.5}^{2} = 9 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{35}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x^{2} = \frac{289 + 35}{4} = \frac{324}{4} = 81$
$\Rightarrow x = 9$ m

In ΔABC, D is a point on side BC. If AC=3 cm, AD=3 cm, BD=8 cm and CD=1 and then AB is:

From ΔABP,x2−8.52=AP2From ΔADP,9−14=AP2⇒x2−8.52=9−14=354⇒x2=289+354=3244=81⇒x=9 m

In $Δ A B C$ , $D$ is a point on side $B C$ . If $A C = 3$ cm, $A D = 3$ cm, $B D = 8$ cm and $C D = 1$ and then $A B$ is:

From $Δ A B P, x^{2} - {8.5}^{2} = A P^{2}$
From $Δ A D P, 9 - \frac{1}{4} = A P^{2}$
$\Rightarrow x^{2} - {8.5}^{2} = 9 - \frac{1}{4} = \frac{35}{4}$
$\Rightarrow x^{2} = \frac{289 + 35}{4} = \frac{324}{4} = 81$
$\Rightarrow x = 9$ m
