Answer:

4.615 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Triangle ABC and ABD are similar because they have two corresponding congruent triangles that is right angle and ∠A. Triangle ABC and BCD are similar because they have two corresponding congruent triangles that is right angle and ∠C. Therefore Triangle ABC, ABD and BCD are similar. Since they are similar, then their sides are proportional in length.

In triangle ABC, using Pythagoras theorem:

AC² = AB² + BC²

AC² = 12² + 5²

AC² = 144 + 25 = 169

AC² = 169

AC = √169 = 13 in

Using similar triangle for ΔABC and ΔABD:

\frac{AC}{AB}= \frac{BC}{BD} \\\\\frac{13}{12}=\frac{5}{BD}\\\\BD=\frac{12*5}{13}\\ BD=4.615\ in
