In the adjoining figure, find the length of AD in terms of b and c.

In right angle triangle ABC, By pythagoras theorem, BC 2 = AB 2 + AC 2 BC 2 = c 2 + b 2 BC = . From figure, Area of △ABC = Area of △ABD + Area of △ADC ⇒ x AB x AC = x AD x BD + x AD x CD ⇒ (AB.AC) = (AD.BD + AD.CD) ⇒ AB.AC = AD.BD + AD.CD ⇒ AB.AC = AD(BD + CD) ⇒ AB.AC = AD.BC [∵ BD + CD = BC] ⇒ AD = Putting values of AB, AC and BC in above equation we get, AD = Hence, AD = .
