Answer

The length of AB is: Solution of Right Triangles, Concise Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

Since CD is perpendicular on AB.

By formula,

tan θ = PerpendicularBase\dfrac{\text{Perpendicular}}{\text{Base}}

From figure,

tan B=CDDBtan 30°=10DB13=10DBDB=103.\Rightarrow \text{tan B} = \dfrac{CD}{DB}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{tan 30°} = \dfrac{10}{DB}\\[1em] \Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}} = \dfrac{10}{DB}\\[1em] \Rightarrow DB = 10\sqrt{3}.

As ΔACD is a right angled triangle,

tan A=CDADtan 45°=10AD1=10ADAD=10.\Rightarrow \text{tan A} = \dfrac{CD}{AD} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \text{tan 45°} = \dfrac{10}{AD} \\[1em] \Rightarrow 1 = \dfrac{10}{AD} \\[1em] \Rightarrow AD = 10.

From figure,

AB = AD + DB = 10 + 103=10(1+3)10\sqrt{3} = 10(1 + \sqrt{3}) cm.

Hence, option 4 is the correct option.
