Answer:
Therefore the choice is
a) AD/AB=AB/AC
Step-by-step explanation:
In Δ ADB and Δ ABC
∠A ≅ ∠A …………..{Reflexive Property}
∠ ADB ≅ ∠ ABC ..............{ measure of each angle is 90° given }
Δ ADB ~ Δ ABC ….{Angle-Angle Similarity test}
If two triangles are similar then their sides are in proportion.
Therefore the choice is
a) AD/AB=AB/AC

Step-by-step explanation:
Since this isosceles triangle has been broken down into two right triangles, and we already know that two sides are the exact same (note that there are 2 x's) that means BD and BC are going to be the exact same length. Since BD is 4, that means BC will be 4, and that means
