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

there are no answer choices

step-by-step explanation:

sas (side angle side)

aa (angle angle)

sss(side side side)

sas find two sides with an angle in between

aa is finding two angles and the third will add up to 180

sss find all sides
