Solving for the Length of DF in a Geometric Problem
- Calculate the length of A1A2 by using the Pythagorean theorem: A1A2 = √(A1D^2 + DD1^2).
- Next, use the fact that BC / CD = AC / CA1 = AF / FD to find the length of DF.
- Then use the fact that AF / FD = 2 / 3 to solve for the variables in the proportion and find the necessary values.
- Finally, use the Pythagorean theorem once again, substituting in the values found in the previous steps, to find the length of DF.
In summary, use the given information and basic geometric principles to solve for the length of DF.
