Question

Angle DAC= angle BAD what is the length of side bd round to one decimal place

Answer 1

Answer:

BD ≈ 2.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

By angle bisector theorem,

"If a segment bisects an angle of a triangle, then it divides the opposite side  into the segments which are proportional to the other two sides"

Here, AD is the bisector of the ∠BAC,

$\frac{BD}{CD}=\frac{AB}{AC}$

$\frac{8.1}{5.9}= \frac{BD}{2}$

BD = $\frac{2\times 8.1}{5.9}$

BD = 2.75

BD ≈ 2.8 units
