  1. ∆ABC is an isosceles triangle and AB = AC = 2a unit, BC = a unit. Draw ADBC , and find the length of AD .
    1. 15 a unit
    2. 15 / 2 a unit
    3. 17 a unit
    4. 17 / 2 a unit
Correct Option: B

As per the given in question , we draw a figure of an isosceles triangle ABC

AB = AC = 2a units
BC = a units

BD = DC =
a
units
2

AD = √AB² - BD²
AD = √ 4a² -
= √
15a²
44

AD =
15
a units
2
