- AD and BC are both perpendicular to AB , and CD is perpendicular to AC . If AB = 4 and BC = 3, find CD . D C A B
解析
- AD and BC are both perpendicular to AB , and CD is perpendicular to AC . If AB = 4 and BC = 3, find CD . D C A B Solution: 20 / 3 ◦ 6 6 6 By Pythagoras in 4 ABC , AC = 5. But CAD = 90 − BAC = ACB , so right triangles CAD, BCA are similar, and CD/AC = BA/CB = 4 / 3 ⇒ CD = 20 / 3.
