pleasee HELPPPPPPP!!!!!!!! in triangle ABC angle B is a right angle. Drop height BO and find the lengths of BO AB AO and OC, given that BC=6 and AC=9 there are two ways to find these lengths.

In a right angled triangle, 
AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2...From this find out AB

anonymous · Answer

Now, to find the other lengths, Suppose that B=(0,0) then the y-coordinate of A becomes 3(5)^2 as you will get length of AB to be 3(5)^2 and the x-coordinated is zero. Similarly, C=(6,0)...Find the equation of line joining A and C...O becomes the Foot of perpendicular from B(0,0) onto this equation...The disatance between B and O is length of BO.
