If x = 39, y = 58, and the measure of AC = 4 units, what is the difference in length between segments AB and AD? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. triangles ABC and ADC in which angle C is a right angle, point D is on segment BC between points B and C, the measure of angle ABD is x degrees, and the measure of angle ADC is y degrees

b) the dogs need to shift their focus to human scent.

step-by-step explanation: yes

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
