1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 TIME REMAINING 57:18 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? 13.0 units 28.8 units 31.2 units 33.8 units

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
