In a right triangle δabc, the length of leg ac = 5 ft and the hypotenuse ab = 13 ft. find the length of the angle bisector of angle ∠a.

the length of the angle bisector of angle ∠A is 6 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram of the right angle triangle ABC is shown in the attached photo

Looking at triangle ABC,

cos θ = adjacent side/hypotenuse side

cos θ = 5/13 = 0.3846

θ = 67.38 degrees

The bisector of an angle divides it into two equal halves. The bisector is represented by line AD.

θ/2 = 67.38/2 = 33.69 degrees

Therefore,

Cos 33.69 = 5/AD

AD × Cos 33.69 = 5

AD = 5/Cos 33.69 = 5/0.832

AD = 6 ft

answer: i'm not going to give you the answer, but some hints to work it out.

step-by-step explanation: so, if there is a straight line that means that the line angle is 180°. so we subtract the 2 angle measures provided, (15 and 38) from 180. so the answer is 180 - (38 + 15). (you have to solve the equation)
