We have

AD=9 in

DB=4 in

find DC,AC and BC

we can do the next equivalences

[tex]\frac{AD}{DC}=\frac{DC}{DB}[/tex][tex]\frac{9}{DC}=\frac{DC}{4}[/tex]

then we clear DC

[tex]\begin{gathered} DC=\sqrt[]{36} \\ DC=6 \end{gathered}[/tex]

For AC we use the Pythagorean theorem

[tex]AC=\sqrt[]{9^2+6^2}=10.81[/tex]

For BC we use the Pythagorean theorem

[tex]BC=\sqrt[]{6^2+4^2}=7.21[/tex]
