In a triangle KMD, the sides MD = 16 cm, MK = 20 cm, MC is the bisector, and the segment CD = 4 cm. Find KC.

The bisector divides the opposite side into segments proportional to the adjacent sides of the triangle.

that is, KC / KM = CD / MD.

substitute the values and find the COP:

KC / 20 = 4/16;

KC = (20 * 4) / 16 = (5 * 4 * 4) / 16 = 5.

Answer: KS = 5.
