Question

In triangle ABC, find k if there is only one possible value for x.

Answer 1

the only possible solution is when the segment of length k is perpendicular to the segment of length x.

Answer 2

Did you get it?

Answer 3

Thanks sirm3d. Hmm... sort of

Answer 4

I don't quite understand why the only possible solution is when the segment of length k is perpendicular to the segment of length x

Answer 5

If k is not perpendicular, you will have 2 different values of x. Look at the picture sirm3d drew for you.

Answer 6

But in the statement of the problem you have only one possible value for x.

Answer 7

Oh I see now! Thanks for that :)
