Dividing a triangle into two equal parts we get two congruent right triangles, with a hypotenuse of 6'', one leg of 3'', and the other leg is the slant height (s). From Pythagorean theorem:

3² + s² = 6²

s² = 6² - 3²

s = √27

Answer:

<h3><u>Let's</u><u> </u><u>understand the concept</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

Here angle B is 90°

So $\triangle ABC$ and $\triangle ABD$ Are right angled triangle

So we use Pythagoras thereon for solution

<h3><u>Required Answer</u><u>:</u><u>-</u></h3>

First in triangle ABC

perpendicular=p=8cm

Hypontenuse =h =10cm

We need to find base=b

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed{\sf b^2=h^2-p^2}}$

Substitutethe values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b^2=10^2-p^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt {10^2-8^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b={\sqrt{100-64}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\bf b={\sqrt {36}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf b=6$

$\therefore$ $\overline{BC}=6cm$

BD=BC+CD

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=9+6$

$\longrightarrow$ $BD=15cm$

Now in $\triangle ABD$

Perpendicular=p=8cm

Base =b=15cm

We need to find Hypontenuse =AD(x)

According to Pythagoras thereon

${\boxed {\sf h^2=p^2+b^2}}$

Substitute the values

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h^2=8^2+15^2$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {8^2+15^2}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {64+225}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h={\sqrt {289}}$

$\longrightarrow$ $\sf h=17cm$

$\therefore$ ${\underline{\boxed{\bf x=17cm}}}$
