Refer to attached annotated figure below.


Step 1: prove triangle ABD is similar to triangle BCD

1. ∠ ADB = ∠ BDC (given)

2. ∠ BAD = 90-y; ∠ DBC= 90-y, => ∠ BAD is congruent to ∠ CBD.

=> triangle ABD is similar to triangle BCD [AA]


Step 2: find length of AD

Using Pythagoras theorem, AD^2=AB^2-BD^2 = 5^2-4^2=9

=> AD=3


Step 3: use the property that corresponding sides of similar triangles are proportional: BC/BD = AB/AD

substitute values

AB=5, AD=3, BD=4, BC=x

x/4=5/3

solve for x

x=5*4/3=20/3

or x=6.67 (to 2 decimal places)

How do the 8 differ in 38108
kvasek [131]
The left 8 represents 8000 units.
The right 8 represents 8 units.

Their placement in the number is used to signify the multiplier for the number of units they represent. That is why the number system is called a "place value number system." Each time the digit is moved left one place, its value increases by a factor of 10.
