प्रश्न
The given figure shows a quadrilateral ABCD in which AD = 13 cm, DC = 12 cm, BC = 3 cm and ∠ABD = ∠BCD = 90o. Calculate the length of AB.
उत्तर
Pythagoras theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the remaining two sides.
First, we consider the ΔBDC and applying Pythagoras theorem we get,
DB2 = DC2 + BC2
DB2 = 122 + 32
DB2 = 144 + 9
DB2 = 153
Now, we consider the ΔABD and applying Pythagoras theorem we get,
DA2 = DB2 + BA2
132 = 153 + BA2
BA2 = 169 - 153
BA = 4
The length of AB is 4 cm.
