To find the length of CD in the given quadrilateral ABCD, we can use the property that opposite angles of a quadrilateral are equal.
Given:
AB = 4 cm
Solution:
Let's label the opposite angles of the quadrilateral as ∠A and ∠C, and the sides opposite to these angles as AD and BC, respectively.
According to the property, ∠A = ∠C.
Now, we can use the property that the sum of angles in a quadrilateral is 360 degrees.
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
Since ∠A = ∠C, we can rewrite the equation as:
∠A + ∠B + ∠A + ∠D = 360°
2∠A + ∠B + ∠D = 360°
But opposite angles are equal, so ∠A = ∠C = ∠B = ∠D
Substituting this into the equation:
2∠A + ∠A + ∠A = 360°
4∠A = 360°
∠A = 360° / 4
∠A = 90°
Now, we can use the property of a right-angled triangle to find the length of CD.
In triangle ABC, we have a right angle at B.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of BC:
BC² = AB² + AC²
BC² = 4² + AC²
BC² = 16 + AC²
Since opposite angles are equal, ∠A = ∠C = 90°.
In triangle ACD, we have a right angle at A.
Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can find the length of AC:
AC² = AD² + CD²
Since ∠A = ∠C = 90°, AD and CD are the legs of a right-angled triangle.
But AD = BC (opposite sides of a quadrilateral are equal), so we can substitute BC for AD in the equation:
AC² = BC² + CD²
AC² = 16 + CD²
Now, we know that AC = 4 cm and AC² = 16 + CD².
Substituting the values in the equation:
4² = 16 + CD²
16 = 16 + CD²
CD² = 16 - 16
CD² = 0
Taking the square root on both sides:
CD = √0
CD = 0
Therefore, the length of CD is 0 cm.
