Question

A) Write a similarity statement.
b)lf BC = 2 and DC = 10. AD =

Answer 1

Explanation:

a) BD/AD=AB/AC=AD/CD; BD/AB=AB/BC=AD/AC; AD/AB=AC/BC=CD/AC;

b) if BC=2 and DC=10, then it is possbile to write:

BD/AD=AB/AC=AD/10; BD/AB=AB/2=AD/AC; AD/AB=AC/2=10/AC, then

AC/2=10/AC and AC²=20. According to the Pyphagorean's theorem AD²=AC²+CD² and AD=√120≈10.96
