1. **Problem statement:** Given a right triangle with points A, B, C, and D such that triangle ABC is right-angled at A, with sides AB = 3, BC = 5, BD = \sqrt{11}, and DC = 6.
2. **Show that AC = 4:**
Since ABC is right-angled at A, by the Pythagorean theorem:
$$AB^2 + AC^2 = BC^2$$
Substitute the known values:
$$3^2 + AC^2 = 5^2$$
$$9 + AC^2 = 25$$
$$AC^2 = 25 - 9 = 16$$
$$AC = \sqrt{16} = 4$$
3. **Show that triangle BCD is right-angled at B:**
Check if the Pythagorean theorem holds for triangle BCD with sides BD = \sqrt{11}, DC = 6, and BC = 5.
Calculate:
$$BD^2 + BC^2 = (\sqrt{11})^2 + 5^2 = 11 + 25 = 36$$
Compare with:
$$DC^2 = 6^2 = 36$$
Since $$BD^2 + BC^2 = DC^2$$, triangle BCD is right-angled at B.
4. **Calculate the trigonometric ratios for angle AĈB:**
Angle AĈB is angle at point C between points A and B.
From triangle ABC:
- Opposite side to angle AĈB is AB = 3
- Adjacent side to angle AĈB is AC = 4
- Hypotenuse is BC = 5
Calculate:
$$\tan A\hat{C}B = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{adjacent}} = \frac{AB}{AC} = \frac{3}{4}$$
$$\sin A\hat{C}B = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}} = \frac{AB}{BC} = \frac{3}{5}$$
**Final answers:**
- $AC = 4$
- Triangle BCD is right-angled at B
- $\tan A\hat{C}B = \frac{3}{4}$
- $\sin A\hat{C}B = \frac{3}{5}$
