Answer:
The length of AD is 1 unit
Step-by-step explanation:
Let us solve the question
In Δ ABC
∵ ∠B is a right angle
∵ BD is perpendicular to the hypotenuse AC
∴ (AB)² = AD × AC ⇒ rule
∵ AB = 3 units
∵ AC = 9 units
∵ AD = x
→ Substitute them in the rule above
∴ (3)² = x × 9
∴ 9 = 9x
→ Divide both sides by 9
∵ [tex]\frac{9}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{9x}{9}[/tex]
∴ 1 = x
∴ The length of AD is 1 unit
