4, 5, and 7 are mutually coprime, so you can use the Chinese remainder theorem right away.
We construct a number such that taking it mod 4, 5, and 7 leaves the desired remainders:
- Taken mod 4, the last two terms vanish and we have
so we multiply the first term by 3.
- Taken mod 5, the first and last terms vanish and we have
so we multiply the second term by 2.
- Taken mod 7, the first two terms vanish and we have
so we multiply the last term by 7.
Now,
By the CRT, the system of congruences has a general solution
or all integers ,
, the least (and positive) of which is 27.
Given:
A figure ABCP.
To find:
The measure of CP.
Solution:
In triangles ABP and CBP,
(Given right angles)
(Given)
(Common side)
Now,
(By AAS property of congruence)
We know that the corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent.
Therefore, the measure of CP is 8 units.
