Question

Given AP=5 in. and AC=12 in.

What is CB ?

Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

the angles at point P are both right-angles, so both triangles are right-triangles, AP = PB and PC = PC, therefore, by the LL theorem for right-triangles, both triangles are congruent, thus AC = CB.

Answer 2

The answer would be 12in
