Question

9. Find the length AD of the shape given below, giving your answer correct to 2

decimal places.

Answer 1

Length of AD = 10.47 meter (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Triangle ACB is a right angle triangle

Length of AC = 14.8 m

Length of CB = 5.5 m

Length of CD = 6.4 m

Find:

Length of AD

Computation:

Using Pythagorean theorem

Base = √Hypoteneus² - Perpendicular²

Length of AB = √14.8² - 5.5²

Length of AB = 13.74 m

Length of DB = √6.4² - 5.5²

Length of DB = 3.27

Length of AD = Length of AB - Length of DB

Length of AD = 13.74 - 3.27

Length of AD = 10.47

Length of AD = 10.47 meter (Approx.)
