mathspassion Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 In a Right angle triangle ABC AB=3,AC=4 & BC=5 at BC,E is middle point and D is altitude AD Find distance DE=? it is not a difficult question eveyone who know maths can solve easly but question is solve it in one line...........

imatfaal Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Not sure if this is short enough for you As triangles ABC and ADC are similar in a ratio of 5:4, DC is 4/5 of AC, EC is by definition 1/2 of BC; thus DE is (4/5)*4-(1/2)*5= 0.7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathspassion Posted December 26, 2016 Author Share Posted December 26, 2016 is it for 345 only or for 5 12 13 as well..... my mean is to everyone can solve it (it is still too lengthy) , it can be too short if you know there is a new formula recently obtained. study deep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatfaal Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Between intersection of altitude and bisector on hypotenuse BC of any right-triangle ABC is (AC x AC/BC) - BC/2 where AC is longer leg That's one line and general - dunno what new formula you might be referring. Perhaps you could stop being so elliptic and ask in a more straight forward manner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I follow your setup D is in the middle of AB, then the distance DE is half AC=2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatfaal Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 If I follow your setup D is in the middle of AB, then the distance DE is half AC=2 The altitude of a triangle divides the angle and forms a perpendicular to the side opposite the angle; ie D must lie on BC (side opposite A) and line AD must be perpendicular to line BC * * I think for the other two side/angles of a right triangle the altitude is the same as the side itself - but for the hypoteneuse / right angle this is not the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed a sketch.. And now that I put it on paper I realize your post #3 is correct. +1 Edited December 27, 2016 by michel123456 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 sir figure is right AB=3,AC=4 AND BC=5 as per figure find DE=? only two seconds question if you know the particular theorum which recently obtained by ..................... I get DE = [ AC2 - AB2 ] / 2 x BC as a General Solution and therefore [42 - 32 ] /2 x5 = 7/10 = 0.7 in this case [the same result found by imatfaal !
