Since we know that line CD is a perpendicular bisector, triangle ACD is a right triangle, and thus we can apply the Pythagorean theorem to determine the length of side CD. Since the Pythagorean theorem states that a^2 + b^2 = c^2, where c is the hypotenuse and a and b are the adjacent sides, we can plug in the values of side AD and AC.

As side CD is the bisector of side AB, sides AD and DB are both half the length of side AB, so:
AD = 11/2
AD = 5.5

We now know two values of our equation, and thus we can solve for the missing third value.

5.5^2 + b^2 = 14^2
14^2 - 5.5^2 = b^2
196 - 30.25 = b^2
165.75 = b^2
$\sqrt{165.75} = b$
b = 12.87

0.0003 is 1/10 of what decimal

Elina [12.6K]

To find 1/10 of a number you need (1/10)*number, or number/10
number/10=0.0003
number=0.0003*10=0.003
