you would have to do the pathagreom thoerem on both sides to get you answer for ad and dc and once you find that you add those together and get your answer for AC

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

is BD = 6.5? and BC = 10?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AT JDOE001 im not sure it doesnt have that on my picture

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

can you post the picture instead?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i can its on my paper

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cant

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

no webcam? no cam in the phone?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have to do 7.5^2+6.5^2 and tell me what that equals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah ill try to upload it and ok

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

well, something tells me is a right angle, so let's assume that http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/similar/triangles/geometric-mean.php

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

I assume BD = 6.5 and BC = 10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11.25 +84.5 @Dman2012

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes @jdoe0001

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait first do you have any answer choices

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

so using the ratio of SIMILARITY between the 3 triangles, as you saw at http://www.mathwarehouse.com/geometry/similar/triangles/geometric-mean.php \(\bf \cfrac{10}{AC}=\cfrac{6.5}{7.5}\) so then solve for "AC"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11.5?

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks
