In Figure 9(a), ABC is a triangular paper card. D is a point lying on AC such that BD is perpendicular to AC. It is known that AB = 40 cm, BC = 60 cm and AC = 90 cm.

AD ?

Using cosine law

let angle bac be y

cos y = [40^2+90^2-60^2]/2(40)(90)

y = 32.08918386

in triangle abd cos y = ad / 40, ad= 33.8888888889

then , we use cosine law to solve the other question

∠DAC = 62

cos 62 = 33.8888888889^2+ac^2-(90-33.8888888889)^2/(2*33.8888888889ac)

you can solve it itself!

Using Heron's formula, or otherwise, find the area of △ABC on the horizontal plane.

just too easy!

s =( the sum of 3 side )/2

area = rt [s*s-(ab)*s-ac*s-bc]
參考: if i do all for you, you learn nothing
