To determine

To find: the value of x.

Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Answer to Problem 2CR

The value of x is 52

Explanation of Solution

Given Information: A triangle with a right angle and a perpendicular directed to the hypotenuse. The measure of sides is marked.

Formula used:

For a right triangle with a perpendicular being drawn to the hypotenuse(as shown below), the relation between the hypotenuse and the normal to it is expressed as,

  McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 8, Problem 2CR , additional homework tip  1

  h2=xyh=xy

This implies the length of the normal is the geometric mean of the two parts of the hypotenuse divided by it.

Calculation :

Consider the triangle shown below.

  McDougal Littell Jurgensen Geometry: Student Edition Geometry, Chapter 8, Problem 2CR , additional homework tip  2

For the given triangle, the altitude is represented by x and the parts of the hypotenuse are 10 and 5. Thus, comparing with the general figure and formula, the value of x can be calculated as,

  x=10×5=50=52
