Question
In a ∆ABC, AD is the bisector of ∠BAC. If AB = 8 cm, BD = 6 cm and DC = 3 cm. The length of the side AC is
Options
6 cm
4 cm
3 cm
8 cm
Solution
4 cm
Explanation;
Hint:
Since AD is the bisector of ∠A
`"BD"/"DC" = "AB"/"AC"`
`6/3 = 8/"AC"`
AC = `(3 xx 8)/6`
= 4 cm

In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = 12 then complete the activity to show that whether the given triangle is right angled triangle or not.
*(l, m, n are opposite sides of ∠L, ∠M, ∠N respectively)
Activity: In ∆LMN, l = 5, m = 13, n = `square`
∴ l2 = `square`, m2 = 169, n2 = 144.
∴ l2 + n2 = 25 + 144 = `square`
∴ `square` + l2 = m2
∴By Converse of Pythagoras theorem, ∆LMN is right angled triangle.
