KVPY2011MathematicsProperties of Triangles
Let ABC be a triangle with B =90^ . Let AD be the bisector of A with D on BC . Suppose AC =6 ~cm and the area of the triangle ADC is 10 ~cm ² . Then the length of BD in cm is equal to
Options
- A3 5
- B3 10
- C5 3
- D10 3
Correct answer
D. 10 3
Step-by-step solution
From angle bisector theorem array l r 6 = p q q r=6 p ...(1) array Area of ADC =10 ~cm ² array l 1 2 ( DC )( AB )=10 1 2 ( q )( r )=10 q r =20 array From (1) array l 20=6 p p = 20 6 = 10 3 array
