<span>We want to know what force is always pointed towards the center. In order for the motion to be circular, a force must act constantly towards the center of the curvature of the path. It's name comes from Latin: "centrum" is center and "petere", to seek. So we get centripetal force. </span>

In a right triangle ABC, CD is an altitude, such that AD=BC. Find AC, if AB=3 cm, and CD= 2 cm.

konstantin123 [22]

Consider right triangle ΔABC with legs AC and BC and hypotenuse AB. Draw the altitude CD.

1. Theorem: The length of each leg of a right triangle is the geometric mean of the length of the hypotenuse and the length of the segment of the hypotenuse adjacent to that leg.

According to this theorem,

$BC^2=BD\cdot AB.$
