GEOMETRY- TRIANGLE

In right angled triangle ABC  angle B = 900 where CD and AE are angle bisctors of angles C and A respectively. AE = 9 and CD = 8√2. What is the lenght of AC?

Any one have solved it ???

Any one have solved it ???

HUMRAJ!!!!!

what happen?

plz try.................

Here it goes
Let a = height =AB, b = base= BC and h=AC
The AE = 9 = √ [ah { (a + h)2 - b2 }] / (a + h)

8√2 =  √ [bh { (b + h)2 - a2 }] / (b + h)

and h = √ (a2 + b2 )

 

Three variables and three equation. . Any one has time to solve it for me. .

pls give the sol of this.....

here let side of the

here let side of the triangle is 2x and 2y which are having <90 then AC^2=4(x^2+y^2) and also 81=4x^2+y^2 and 128=x^2+4y^2 which gives 4(x^2+y^2) = (81+128)x4/5 = 209x4/5 = 19x11x4/5 thus AC = 2(19x11/5)^1/2

Solution

I realized my approach was wrong and I tried the problem again..

Meanwhile I come across a site where solution is available http://www.qbyte.org/puzzles/p023s.html

The solution is 6xsqrt(5)

Thanks for the link but its

Thanks for the link

but its more like a JEE problem than CAT
