Do you know Pythagorean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes, a2+b2=c2

good|dw:1422645118994:dw|

OpenStudy (loser66):

By Pythagorean, you have \( DC = AC^2 -AD^2\) , moreover, you still have \(DC^2=BC^2-BD^2\) right? hence, \(AC^2-AD^2=BC^2-BD^2\), all have numbers, plug in and solve for x

OpenStudy (loser66):

sorry, the first one is DC^2 not DC

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so so far I have \[10x-2^{2}-8x ^{2}=7x ^{2}-5x+3^{2}\] Is that right so far?

OpenStudy (loser66):

Nope

OpenStudy (loser66):

\(AC^2=(10x-2)^2 = 100x^2-40x+2^2\) , the same for others, not as you stated.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright then what?

OpenStudy (loser66):

Plug all them in in CORRECT way first, then solve for x. I want to see your equation
