Consider the proof.
Given: In △ABC, BD ⊥ AC
Prove: the formula for the law of cosines, a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A)
Triangle A B C is shown. A perpendicular bisector is drawn from point B to point D on side A C. The length of B C is a, the length of D C is b minus x, the length of A D is x, the length of A B is c, and the length of B D is h.
Statement
Reason
1. In △ABC, BD ⊥ AC 1. given
2. In △ADB, c2 = x2 + h2 2. Pythagorean thm.
3. In △BDC, a2 = (b – x)2 + h2 3. Pythagorean thm.
4. a2 = b2 – 2bx + x2 + h2 4. prop. of multiplication
5. a2 = b2 – 2bx + c2 5. substitution
6. In △ADB, cos(A) = StartFraction x Over c EndFraction 6. def. cosine
7. ccos(A) = x 7. mult. prop. of equality
8. a2 = b2 – 2bccos(A) + c2 8. ?
9. a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bccos(A) 9. commutative property
What is the missing reason in Step 8?
Pythagorean theorem
definition of cosine
substitution
properties of multiplication

Isuck at math ; ^; m a student solved this problem and said the answer is 3 feet. chase had a roll of ribbon that contained 7 7/8 feet of ribbon. he cut off one piece that was 3 5/8 feet long and another piece that was 1 1/4 feet from the roll. how much ribbon was left on the roll? is the student's answer reasonable? yes, the answer is reasonable. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 2 feet. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 13 feet. no, the answer is not reasonable. it should be about 4 feet.
