Question

In $△ A B C$ , the internal bisector $A D$ of $∠ A$ meets the side $B C$ at $D$ . If $B D = 2.5$ cm, $A B = 5$ cm and $A C = 4.2$ cm, then find $D C$

Open in App

Solution

By Angle Bisector Theorem,
Let $D C = x$
$\Rightarrow \frac{A B}{A C} = \frac{B D}{D C}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{4.2} = \frac{2.5}{x}$
$\Rightarrow 5 x = 2.5 \times 4.2$
$\Rightarrow 5 x = 10.5$
$\Rightarrow x = 2.1$ cm
Therefore, $D C = 2.1$ cm

In △ABC, the internal bisector AD of ∠A meets the side BC at D. If BD=2.5 cm, AB=5 cm and AC=4.2 cm, then find DC

By Angle Bisector Theorem,Let DC=x⇒ABAC=BDDC⇒54.2=2.5x⇒5x=2.5×4.2⇒5x=10.5⇒x=2.1 cmTherefore, DC=2.1 cm

In $△ A B C$ , the internal bisector $A D$ of $∠ A$ meets the side $B C$ at $D$ . If $B D = 2.5$ cm, $A B = 5$ cm and $A C = 4.2$ cm, then find $D C$

By Angle Bisector Theorem,
Let $D C = x$
$\Rightarrow \frac{A B}{A C} = \frac{B D}{D C}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{5}{4.2} = \frac{2.5}{x}$
$\Rightarrow 5 x = 2.5 \times 4.2$
$\Rightarrow 5 x = 10.5$
$\Rightarrow x = 2.1$ cm
Therefore, $D C = 2.1$ cm
