Given:

• AD = 3

,

• DC = 27

,

• BD = x + 3

Let's solve for x.

To solve for x, apply the altitude formula:

\frac{AD}{BD}=\frac{BD}{DC}

Where BD is the altitude.

Cross multiply:

BD^2=AD*DC

Plug in the values and solve for x:

\begin{gathered} (x+3)^2=3*27 \\  \\ (x+3)^2=81 \end{gathered}

Take the square root of both sides:

\begin{gathered} \sqrt{(x+3)^2}=\sqrt{81} \\  \\ x+3=9 \\  \\ \text{ Subtract 3 from both sides:} \\ x+3-3=9-3 \\  \\ x=6 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the value of x is 6 .

ANSWER:

d. 6
