What is BD? please help i can’t fail another test

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

BD is the altitude of the right triangle.

Apply the altitude theorem of a triangle to find BD. Based on the theorem, thus:

h = √(xy)

Where,

h = BD

x = 16

y = 4

Plug in the values

BD = √(16*4)

BD = √64

BD = 8
