In Fig. 4.60, AD bisects ∠A, AB = 12 cm, AC = 20 cm and BD = 5 cm, determine CD.
It is given that bisect . Also, , and .
We have to find .
Since is the bisector of
Then , because Angle Bisector of a triangles divides the opposite side in two parts proportional to other two sides of a triangle.
Hence
