 Diagram
  14 shows tetrahedron ABCD such that = 64 , AB = 8cm and BD = 15 cm.

A
C

It is given that the area of triangle BCD is 29.1 cm₂ and ABC is a right angle
triangle
 QUESTION
 
A) Calculate  B) Point C” lies on AC such that DC = DC

(i) The length, in cm, of CD, (i) Sketch the triangle

(ii) The length, in cm, of AD, (ii) Calculate the length, in cm, of AC .
 
 SOLUTION
(a)
𝟏
i. 29.1 = x 15 x CD x sin 104°
𝟐
= 3.999
𝟖
ii. cos 64° = 𝑨𝑪
= 18.249 // 18.25
AD₂ = *18.249₂ + *3.999₂ - 2 * (18.249) *(3.999) cos 35∘
AD = 15.15
𝒔𝒊𝒏∠𝑪𝑨𝑫 𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝟑𝟓°
iii. =
𝟑.𝟗𝟗𝟗 𝟏𝟓.𝟏𝟓

3.999₂ = 18.25₂ + 15.15₂ - 2(18.25) (15.15) cos ∠𝑪𝑨𝑫

∠𝑪𝑨𝑫 = 8.71°
 SOLUTION
(i) A
C

D
𝑨𝑪 𝟏𝟓.𝟏𝟓
(ii) =
𝒔𝒊𝒏 𝟐𝟔.𝟐𝟗° 𝒔𝒊𝒏𝟏𝟒𝟓°

AC₂ = 3.999₂ + 15.15₂ - 2(3.999)(15.15) cos 26.29

AC₂ = 11.70
