Explanation of Solution
Given Information: A triangle DNF with a right
Formula used :
For a right triangle DNF with a perpendicular NE being drawn to the hypotenuse DF (as shown below), the relation between the one of the legs of the bigger triangle and the normal to it is expressed as,
Calculation: Consider the following figure. Here, the sides DE and DF are given as
DE=10
Substituting the measure of DE and DF in the above formula , the measure of side ND can be obtained as,
