Correct Answer: 13 cm
Solution :
As we know the altitude to the hypotenuse divides the triangle into two triangles that are similar to the original triangle and each other. ⇒ AD 2 = BD × DC ⇒ 6 2 = 4 × DC ⇒ DC = 9 cm ⇒ BC = BD + DC ⇒ BC = 4 + 9 =13 cm Hence, the correct answer is 13 cm.

Question : Suppose $\triangle ABC$ be a right-angled triangle where $\angle A=90°$ and $AD\perp BC$. If the area of $\triangle ABC =40$ cm$^{2}$ and $\triangle ACD =10$ cm$^{2}$ and $\overline{AC}=9$ cm, then the length of $BC$ is:
Question : In $\triangle$ABC, $\angle$A = 90°, AD$\perp$BC and AD = BD = 2 cm. The length of CD is:
Question : In $\mathrm{\Delta ABC, \angle BAC = 90^{\circ}}$ and $\mathrm{AD}$ is drawn perpendicular to $\mathrm{BC}$. If $\mathrm{BD} = 7\;\mathrm{cm}$ and $\mathrm{CD }= 28\;\mathrm{cm}$, what is the length of $\mathrm{AD}$?
Question : ABC is a right angle triangle and $\angle ABC = 90^{\circ}$. BD is perpendicular on the side AC. What is the value of $(BD)^2$?
Question : $ABC$ is a triangle and $D$ is a point on the side $BC$. If $BC = 16\mathrm{~cm}$, $BD = 11 \mathrm{~cm}$ and $\angle ADC = \angle BAC$, then the length of $AC$ is equal to:
