In trapezoid ABCD with bases AB and DC, diagonals intersect at point O. Find the length of diagonal BD, if BO=6 cm andAO/AC=3/4
Angle AOB = Angle COD
Angle ABO = Angle CDO
So...by AA congruency....triangle AOB is similar to triangle COD
Since AO / AC = 3/4 ......then CO must be (1/3)AO ⇒ 3CO = AO
So
OD/ CO = OB / AO
OD / CO = 6/ (3CO)
OD / 1 = 6/3
OD = 2
So BD = BO + OD = 6 + 2 = 8
