In the figure triangle ABC and triangle BDC are similar.
Then BD =
Given:
AB = 15.0
AC = 20.0
BC = 8.0
Find BD
Solution:
Since △ ABC is similar to △ BDC, their corresponding sides are proportional.
Using the ratio of corresponding sides:
BD / BC = AB / AC
Substituting the given values:
BD / 8 = 15 / 20
BD = 8 × (15 / 20)
BD = 8 × 0.75
BD = 6.0
Final Answer:
(d) 6.0.
In △ABC, AB = AC = 12 cm, BC = 5 cm and D is a point on AC such that DB = BC. What is the measure of CD?
