Answer :

Given

AD = 6.4

BD = 3.6

Find

AC,BC and DC

Explanation

Using Pythogoras theorem in triangle ADC

[tex]AC^2=DC^2+6.4^2------(1)[/tex]

Using PT in triangle BDC

[tex]BC^2=DC^2+3.6^2-------(2)[/tex]

Adding equation (1) and (2)

[tex]\begin{gathered} AC^2+BC^2=DC^2+3.6^2+DC^2+6.4^2 \\ AC^2+BC^2=2DC^2+53.92 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Using PT in triangle ABC

[tex]10^2=AC^2+BC^2[/tex]

Equating above 2 equations

[tex]\begin{gathered} 100=2DC^2+53.92 \\ DC^2=23.04 \\ DC=4.8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Putting this value of DC in equation (2)

[tex]\begin{gathered} BC^2=4.8^2+3.6^2 \\ BC^2=23.04+12.96 \\ BC=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

[tex]\begin{gathered} 10^2=AC^2+BC^2 \\ 100=AC^2+36 \\ AC=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Final Answer

AC = 8

BC = 6

DC = 4.8
