Answer to Problem 7MRE

  AX=

  BX = CX

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: A triangle with a right angle and a perpendicular directed to the hypotenuse which bisects it.

For a right triangle ABC with a perpendicular CX being drawn to the hypotenuse AB (as shown below), the relation between the altitude and the two segments of the hypotenuse is expressed as,

  McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 8.2, Problem 7MRE

  CX2=AX×BX ……… (1)

But, it is given that; the perpendicular drawn to the hypotenuse bisects it. Thus,

  AX=BX

Considering this relation in (1), it can be rewritten as,

  CX2=AX×AX

  CX=AX ……….. (2)

It can also be written as,

  CX2=BX×BX

  CX=BX ……….. (3)

From (2) and (3), it can be concluded that,

  AX=BX=CX
