If BC = 5 and CD = 26, find AC.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Blababa [14]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

AC=\sqrt{130}

Step-by-step explanation:

AC is the geometric mean.  Solve it using this proportion:

\frac{BC}{AC}=\frac{AC}{CD}

Now fill in the values we know:

\frac{5}{AC}=\frac{AC}{26}

Cross multiply to get

(AC)^2=130

That means that

AC = \sqrt{130}, which, in decimal form is

AC = 11.40175425
