Question

What is the value of h in the figure below? In this diagram, BAD - CBD

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

By using geometric mean theorem in the given right triangle ABC,

$\frac{AD}{BD}= \frac{BD}{DC}$

BD² = AD × DC

h² = (AC - CD) × DC

h² = (25 - 16) × 16

h² = 9 × 16

h = $\sqrt{144}$

h = 12

Therefore, measure of side h = 12 units.

Option D will be the correct option.
