answer this question please EXPERT.
Dear student,
Answer:
Given in triangle ABC , XY is a horizontal line As : XY BC
ABC = 90
AB = 12 cm
AY = 8 cm
And
We know from side splitter theorem if a line is parallel to a side of a triangle and intersect the other two sides, then this line divides those two sides proportionally.
As we know So , we can say that , then we get
YC = 16 , So AC = 8 + 16 = 24 cm
Now apply Pythagoras theorem in triangle ABC
= 576 - 144
= 432
BC =
BC = 20.7846 cm
So ,
AC = 24 cm And BC = 20.7846 cm ( Ans )
