A right Δ A B C is drawn on the x − y plane as shown in the figure above.
If A B is 8 units and B C is 6 units, and the value of B D + C D is k , then enter the value of ⌊ 1 0 0 k ⌋ .

What seed level did you give it?
I don't think this should be a level 4 problem...
Lev4 :-) , its not that tough I know.
We note that △ B C D is similar to △ A B C . And △ A B C is a 3-4-5 Pythagorean triangle.
⟹ ⎩ ⎪ ⎨ ⎪ ⎧ B D = 5 4 B C C D = 5 3 B C ⟹ B D + C D = ( 5 4 + 5 3 ) B C = 5 7 × 6 = 8 . 4
⟹ ⌊ 1 0 0 k ⌋ = 8 4 0
That was quick and awesome solution sir! (+1)!
Elegant solution sir!
R i g h t Δ A B C i s 3 − 4 − 5 , ⟹ r i g h t Δ C D B i s a l s o 3 − 4 − 5 . B u t B C i s h y p o t e n u s e o f Δ C D B , D C t h e s m a l l s i d e . ∴ B C = 6 ∗ 5 5 , B D = 6 ∗ 5 4 D C = 6 ∗ 5 3 . ⟹ k = 6 ∗ 5 4 + 6 ∗ 5 3 = 6 ∗ 5 4 + 3 = 8 . 4 . ⌊ 1 0 0 k ⌋ = 8 4 0 .
B D = A C A B × B C
= 4 . 8 units.
B C ² = C D × A C
C D = 3 . 6 units
B C + C D = 8 . 4 = k units
⌊ 1 0 0 k ⌋ = 8 4 0 .
