Question

What is DC ?

Enter the answer in the box.

Answer 1

DC = 30

Explanation:

Point D is the circumcenter of triangle ABC, so it is equidistant from A, B, and C.

We are given the measures of DE and AE, so we can figure AD using the Pythagorean theorem:

AD² = AE² + DE² . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . E bisects AB, so AE=AB/2=18

AD = √(18² +24²) = √900 = 30

DC = AD

DC = 30
