u need to use pythagoras theorm here in \(\triangle ADB\) \(\angle ADB =90\) so \(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{AD^2+BD^2=AB^2\\~\\ 4^2+BD^2=5^2\\~\\ 16+BD^2=25\\~\\ BD^2=25-16\\~\\ BD^2=9\\~\\ BD=\sqrt{9}\\~\\ BD=3\\~\\ }\end{align}\) so |dw:1418256702061:dw| now u need to use pythagoras theorm in \(\triangle BCD\) \(\angle BCD =90\) so \(\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{BC^2+DC^2=BD^2\\~\\ BC^2+1^2=3^2\\~\\ BC^2+1=9\\~\\ BC^2=9-1\\~\\ BC^2=8\\~\\ BC=\sqrt{8}\\~\\ BC=\sqrt{4\times 2}\\~\\ BC=2\sqrt{ 2}\\~\\ BC=2.82\\~\\ }\end{align}\)
