Answer to Problem 20WE

  x=8

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The figure:

McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 8.2, Problem 20WE , additional homework tip  1

Concept Used:

Theorem4-1 corollary-3: vertex angle bisector of isosceles triangle is perpendicular bisector of the base.

Theorem 8-2: In right triangle, square of hypogenous is equal to the square of base and perpendicular.

Label the given figure as shown below:

McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 8.2, Problem 20WE , additional homework tip  2

It can be observed that two sides of the triangle ABD are congruent, so it is an isosceles triangle.

So, by Theorem4-1 corollary-3, it can be said that,

  BC=12CD=12(12)=6

Consider the right triangle ABC .

Now, AB¯ is the hypotenuse and has length 10 and the lengths of the legs are AC=x and BC=6 .

So, by theorem 8-2,

  AB2=AC2+BC2102=x2+62100=x2+36

  10036=x264=x2

Now, take square root of both sides,

  x2=64x=8
