Answer 1

Answer:   10*sqrt(30)

That is the same as writing $10\sqrt{30}$

======================================================

Explanation:

The diagram shows that

• AC = 60
• AD = 50

That must mean DC = AC-AD = 60-50 = 10

We'll use this to help find BD as shown below

AD/BD = BD/DC

AD*DC = BD*BD .... cross multiply

(BD)^2 = AD*DC

BD = sqrt(AD*DC) ..... geometric mean formula

BD = sqrt(50*10)

BD = sqrt(500)

----------------------

Now apply the pythagorean theorem to find AB. Focus on triangle ABD.

(AD)^2 + (BD)^2 = (AB)^2

(AB)^2 = (AD)^2 + (BD)^2

(AB)^2 = (50)^2 + (sqrt(500))^2

(AB)^2 = 2500 + 500

(AB)^2 = 3000

AB = sqrt(3000)

AB = sqrt(100*30)

AB = sqrt(100)*sqrt(30)

AB = 10*sqrt(30)
