Given: CD¯¯¯¯¯ is an altitude of △ABC.
Prove: a2=b2+c2−2bccosA
Figure shows triangle A B C. Segment A B is the base and contains point D. Segment C D is shown forming a right angle. Segment C D is labeled h. Segment A B is labeled c. Segment B C is labeled a. Segment A C is labeled b. Segment A D is labeled x. Segment D B is labeled c minus x.
Select from the drop-down menus to correctly complete the proof.
Statement Reason
CD¯¯¯¯¯ is an altitude of △ABC. Given
△ACD and △BCD are right triangles. Definition of right triangle
a2=(c−x)2+h2
Choose...
a2=c2−2cx+x2+h2 Square the binomial.
b2=x2+h2
Choose...
cosA=xb
Choose...
