As shown in the figure, the radius of the inscribed circle of RT △ ABC is 1 cm, and the hypotenuse is tangent to the circle O at point D. given AB = 5, find the length of AD and AC

Let ⊙ o cut AC to e, BC to F, quadrilateral OECF is square, ∵ CE = CF = 1, according to tangent length, we get AE = ad, BF = BD, ∵ AE + BF = AB = 5, let AE = x (x > 0), then BF = 5-x, ∵ AC = x + 1, BC = 6-x, according to Pythagorean theorem: (x + 1) ^ 2 + (6-x) ^ 2 = 25, 2x ^ 2-10x + 12 = 0x ^ 2-5x + 6 = 0
