Given: â–³ A B C , whose sides are 13 in., 14 in., and 15 in.
Find: a) BD, the length of the altitude to the 14-in. side
(HINT: USE the Pythagorean Theorem twice.)
b) The area of â–³ A B C , using the result from part (a)

Chapter 8.1, Problem 39E, Given: ABC, whose sides are 13 in., 14 in., and 15 in. Find: a BD, the length of the altitude to the

Exercises 39, 40

To determine

a)

To find:

The length of the altitude.

Explanation

Find the length of the altitude of the triangle is followed by the formula.

By Pythagorean theorem,

(BD)2+(DC)2=(BC)2

Calculation:

Given,

â–³ABC, whose sides are 13 in., 14 in., and 15 in., the length of the altitude BD to the 14-in. side.

Where, AC=AD+DC

Let x be the length of DC and h be the length of the altitude BD.

(i.e.) AD+DC=AC

AD+x=14

AD=(14−x)in.

For the right triangle â–³BDC,

DC=x in., BD=h in., and BC=15 in.

By Pythagorean theorem,

(BD)2+(DC)2=(BC)2

(h)2+(x)2=(15)2

h2+x2=225

Add (−x2) on both sides,

h2+x2+(−x2)=225+(−x2)

h2+x2−x2=225−x2

h2+0=225−x2

h2=225−x2

For the right triangle â–³ADB,

AD=14−x in., BD=h

To determine

b)

To find:

The area of △ABC, using the result from part (a).
