The length of BC is
.
Solution:
Given ABC is a right triangle.
AC is the hypotenuse and BD is the altitude.
AB and BC are legs of the triangle ABC.
AC = 16 and DC = 5
<u>Leg rule of geometric mean theorem:</u>



Do cross multiplication.



Taking square root on both sides.


square and square roots get canceled, we get

The length of BC is
.
Okay. So, we should convert fractions to the least common denominator, which is 20. That would be 2 5/20 and 2 16/20. Add both of those numbers up to get 5 1/20. Taylor ran and walked 5 1/20 miles.
-6x=-36 then u divide by -6 so it is...
x=6
Ur answer to this question would be 512.
