Question

What is the length of BC​

Answer 1

BC = 2

Explanation:

We first need to use triangle BAD to find BD,

BD is the hypotenuse, so use pythagorean theorem...

(√23)² + (√13)² = (BD)²

23 + 13 = (BD)²

36 = (BD)²

6 = BD

Now BD is the hypotenuse of triangle BCD, so use pythagorean theorem agian to find BC

(4√2)² + (BC)² = 6²

32 + (BC)² = 36

(BC)² = 4

BC = 2
