Answer from: Quest

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

(5 + x)/6 = 6/x

x(x+5) = 36

x^2 +5x - 36 = 0

(x+9)(x-4) = 0

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

If bc = 6 and ad = 5, find dc. a) 4 b) 4.5 c) 7.2
