This is known as Einstein's proof, not because he was the first to come up with it, but because he came up with it as a 15 year old boy.
Here the problem is justification step 2. The written equation
BC ÷ DC = BC ÷ AC
is incorrect, and wouldn't get us our statement 2, which is correct.
For similar triangles we have to carefully pair the corresponding parts to get our ratios right:
ABC ~ BDC means AB:BD = BC:DC = AC:BC so BC/DC=AC/BC.
Justification 2 has the final division upside down.

Answer:
pi144
Step-by-step explanation:
square the radius but dont multiply by pi because the question wants you to leave it out.
Answer:
30 :75
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
a = 36 and a = 27
Step-by-step explanation:
The geometric mean of two numbers is the square root of the product of the two numbers.
Say for example we have the numbers x and y, the geometric mean z is mathematically;
z = √xy
For the first question, our z is 12, x and y are 4 and a respectively.
12 = √4a
square both sides
144 = 4a
a = 144/4
a = 36
For the second question
z is 9, x and y are 3 and a respectively
9 = √3a
square both sides
81 = 3a
a = 81/3
a = 27
