Triangle A B C is shown. Angle A B C is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point B to point D on side A C to form a right angle. The length of A D is 5 and the length of B D is 12. What is the length of Line segment B C, rounded to the nearest tenth?

28.8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to further explain the description of the right angled triangle ABC above, I have attached a hand drawn diagram for easier understanding.

The length of A D is 5 units

The length of B D is 12 units.

From the above triangle ABC, to solve for BC we have the following ratios.

BD : BC = AD : BD

Hence,

BD/ BC = AD/BD

= 12/BC = 5/12

Cross Multiply

12× 12 = BC × 5

BC = 12 × 12/ 5

BC = 144/5

BC = 28.8 units

Therefore, the length of Line segment B C, rounded to the nearest tenth is 28.8 units

or 31.2

Step-by-step explanation:

u decide which one

so a parallelogram is just like a square base times height. multiply 40 and 39 to get 1560 inches.

a triangle is base times height divided by two. so multiply 7.9 and 5 and then divide it by 2 to get 19.75inches.

the kite can be split into two separate triangles and added together to get the total area. 30 x 4 /2 which equals 60. make sure to double it for the two triangles making 120.
