Using the information given in the figure, the values of x and y are ___________ .
Options:
A .  x = 15, y = 9
B .  x = 9, y = 15
C .  x = 14, y = 9
D .  x = 15, y = 10
Answer: Option A : A Given, AB=AC ⟹94=6x+4⟹6x=90⟹x=15 In △ABD and △ACD, (i) ∠ADB=∠ADC=90∘ ... (given) (ii) AB = AC ...(given) (iii) AD = AD ... (common side) ⇒△ABD≅△ADC ... (RHS congruence rule) Then, BD=CD ...(CPCT) ⇒2y–7=11⇒2y=18⇒y=9
