Exactly what I thought

im in alg 2

OpenStudy (1andrewalarcon1):

Ok, thanks anyways

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: since BCD is a right triangle, we can apply the theorem of Pitagora, so we get: \[\Large C{D^2} + {8^2} = B{C^2}\] furthermore, also ABC is a right triangle, so I can apply the second theorem of Euclide, so I can write: \[\Large B{D^2} = AD \times DC\] Both of the above equations solve the problem

OpenStudy (1andrewalarcon1):

So for the first one x^2+8^2=y^2? @Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and the second one can be rewritten as follows: \(64=15x\)

OpenStudy (1andrewalarcon1):

thanks
