Question

Find the length of AD

Answer 1

The length of AD is 5 units. so, option A is the correct answer.

What is the Pythagoras theorem?

The Pythagoras theorem states that the square of the longest side must be equal to the sum of the square of the other two sides in a right-angle triangle.

The length of DC is given as 13 units.

The length of AC is given as 12  units. We can see that angle D is a right angle, so the triangle will be a right-angle triangle.

by Pythagoras theorem;

$DC ^2 = AD^2 + AC^2\\\\13^2 = AD^2 + 12^2\\\\AD^2 = 169 - 144\\\\AD^2 = 25\\\\AD = 5$

Hence, the length of AD is 5 units. so, option A is the correct answer.
