A triangle ABC with ∠ABC=90∘, has the length of the side AB=128 cm and of BC=96 cm. What is the length of the perpendicular line from side AC to point B?
Answer:
76.8 cm
In the right angled triangle ABC,AB=128 cm,BC=96 cm
- Since, the area in the equations and should be the same, equating the area in equation , we get:
- Therefore, the length of the perpendicular line from side to point is .
