Answer:
The length of segment DC 33 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The length of segment BC is 23 units.
To find:
Length of segment DC=?
Solution:
AB = 2x + 7
From the figure ,AB = BC
2x + 7 = 23
2x = 23 - 7
2x = 16
x = 8
In the Δ ABD and ΔCBD
(1) AB = BC(As given in the figure.)
(2) ∠DBA = ∠DBC = 90°
(3) BD = BD(Common side of both the triangle.)
Thus by using SAS congurence property .
Δ ABD ≅ ΔCBD
Thus AD = DC(Corresponding sides of the congurent triangle.)
Thus AD = 4x + 1
Substituting x = 8
AD =
AD = 32 + 1
AD = 33 unit
Thus AD = DC = 33 unit
