Required Answer:

✒ GiveN:

  • AD is the angle bisector of ∠A
  • BD = 4 cm
  • DC = 5 cm
  • AB = 6 cm

✒ To FIND:

  • AC = ?

How to Solve?

We can SEE here, that INTERNAL bisector of an Angle is given, and we have to find a side of the triangle. For this, LET's know about Internal angle bisector theoram.

\large{ \bf{Theoram:}}

➤ The internal angle bisector of an triangle from any vertex divides the opposite side in the ratio of the side containing the angle which was bisected.

✒ So, By using this theoram, let's solve the question.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Solution:

REFER to the attachment...

We have, the required bisected angle ∠A. Then, opposite side of ∠A is BC.

According to theoram,

⇛ AB/AC = BD/DC

We have,

  • AB = 6 cm
  • BD = 4 cm
  • DC = 5 cm
  • AC = ? [let AC be x]

By using the relation,

⇛ 6/x = 4/5

⇛ x = 6×5 /4 cm

⇛ x = 7.5 cm

✒ Required Length of AC = 7.5 cm

Hence, Solved !!
