As shown in the figure, in RT △ ABC, ∠ B = 90 ° and point D is the midpoint of edge BC. Given ad = 5cm and BD = 3cm, find the length of AB and AC~

As shown in the figure, in RT △ ABC, ∠ B = 90 ° and point D is the midpoint of edge BC. Given ad = 5cm and BD = 3cm, find the length of AB and AC~

In RT △ abd, if the hypotenuse ad = 5 and the right angle BD = 3, then the Pythagorean theorem AB square + BD square = ad square gives AB = 4cm
In RT triangle ABC, BC = 2bd = 6, then Pythagorean theorem obtains AC = 2, radical 13
