Question

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

Answer 1

12 is correct via a p e x

Answer 2

Option D

Explanation:

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

`(AD)/(BD)= (BD)/(DC)`

BD² = AD × DC

h² = (AC - CD) × DC

h² = (25 - 16) × 16

h² = 9 × 16

h =
`√(144)`

h = 12

Therefore, measure of side h = 12 units.

Option D will be the correct option.
