In figure, if `angleBAC=90^(@)` and `ADbotBC`. Then,

A

`BD.CD=BC^(2)`

B

`ABcdotAC=BC^(2)`

C

`BDcdotCD=AD^(2)`

D

`ABcdotAC=AD^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Ib `DeltaADB` and `DeltaADC`,

`angled=angleD=90^(@)`
`angleDBA=angleDAC` [each equal to `90^(@)- ltC`]
`thereforeDeltaADB~DeltaADC` [by AAAsimilarity criterion]
`therefore(BD)/(AD)=(AD)/(CD)`
`rArrBDcdotCD=AD^(2)`
