Hey there,

So the line give to us is as follows, AC = 14, AB = 5√2 so solve for BC.

To start we have to simplify and rould AB, meaning 5√2 would also be about 7 when simplified.

Now all we have to do is subtract AB from AC to know the value of BC. So when we do that we get:

  • 14 - 7 = 7

Therefore, BC is equal to about 7.

To have a more accurate answer you would need to subtract 14 by 5√2 and if you plug that into your calculator you should get 6.928932188.

This could be rounded to 7 or written as 14 - 5√2.

Hope I helped,

Amna
