Answer:
AD = 8/3 units
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the angle bisector theorem, angle bisector BD divides AC into AD and CD such that they are proportional to AB and CB.
This implies:
AB/AD = CB/CD
AB = 8
CB = 10
Set AD equal to x
AD = x
CD = 6 - x
Substitute the values
8/x = 10/(6 - x)
8(6 - x) = 10(x)
48 - 8x = 10x
48 - 8x + 8x = 10x + 8x
48 = 18x
48/18 = 18x/18
8/3 = x
x = 8/3
AD = 8/3 units
