To find: length of
Answer to Problem 10SAP
Explanation of Solution
Given information:Segment AB is perpendicular to segment CD. Segment AB and segment CD bisect each other at point X. AB = 8 and CD = 10.
Calculation:
Since, AB=8 and CD= 10, so, find BX and XD by dividing each by two.
Since Point X bisects each segment, so
Given that, the two lines are perpendicular, segment BD is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. So, find the length of BD by using the Pythagorean Theorem.
Take the square root of both sides, since we are looking at lengths of a triangle, only consider the positive square root.
Thus,
