Answer:
and
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Bisector: CD
of Line AB
Required
Apply Pythagoras Theorem
From the question, CD bisects AB and it bisects it at D.
The relationship between AB and CD is given by the attachment
Considering ACD
From the attachment, we have that:
By Pythagoras Theorem, we have
Considering CBD
From the attachment, we have that:
By Pythagoras Theorem, we have:
Answer:
Step 3 is not correct (should be , not
Step-by-step explanation:
The expression that we have to simplify is:
We proceed step-by-step, in order to find the mistake did by Cedric:
1) First, we factorize the 5 outside:
--> this step is correct
2) We add +16 and -16 inside the brackets:
--> this step is correct
3) We rewrite the term as the square of a bynomial, which is
, so the expression becomes
--> we notice that this step is wrong: in fact, Cedric wrote
, which is not correct.
4) Now we continue: we rewrite -16+3 as -13,
5) Finally, we multiply the 5 by the terms in the bracket:
