Answer:
DK = 9
Step-by-step explanation:
In triangle AMD,
h² = p² + b²
or, h² = 6² + 4²
or, h²= 36 + 16
so, h² = 52
so, AM² = 52
Take x as reference angle,
cos²x = 16/52
Now,
In triangle, AMK,
Taking x as reference angle,
cos²x = b²/h²
cos²x = AM²/MK²
or, cos²x = 52/MK²
Now,
cos²x = 16/52 = 52/MK²
or,
16/52 = 52/MK²
or, 16MK² = 2704
or, MK² = 2704/16
or, MK² = 169
so, MK = 13
Now,
DK = MK - MD
or, DK = 13 - 4
so, DK = 9
You can double the product of 9 and 4 to get to the product of 9 and 8
X - 3 = 7
add 3 to both sides
x - 3 + 3 = 7 + 3
x = 10
addition property of equality
