  1. From the question it is given that,
    AD is bisector of BAC
    AB=6cm,AC=4cm and BD=3cm
    Construction, from C draw a straight line CE parallel to DA and join AE
    1=2 … [equation (i)]
    By construction CEDE
    So, 2=4 … [because alternate angles are equal] [equation (ii)]
    Again by construction CEDE
    1=3 … [because corresponding angles are equal] [equation (iii)]
    By comparing equation (i), equation (ii) and equation(iii) we get,
    3=4
    So, AC=AE … [equation (iv)]
    Now, consider the BCE,
    CEDE
    BD/DC=AB/AE
    BD/DC=AB/AC
    3/DC=6/4
    By cross multiplication we get,
    3×4=6×DC
    DC=(3×4)/6
    DC=12/6
    DC=2
    Therefore, BC=BD+DC
    =3+2
    =5cm.
