In the following image, segment BD bisects segment AC, and three triangles are similar: AABC~ AADB~ ABDC. Complete the two-column
proof of the Pythagorean theorem.
3: A. (AC)DC) + (AC)(CD) = (AC)AC) + (BC)BC)
B. (AC)(CD) + (AC)(AD) = (BC)BC) + (AB)AB)
C. (AB)(CB) + (AD)CD) = (AC)AC) + (BC)BC)
D. (AC)BC) = (AC)(AC) + (BC)BC)
5: A.angle bisector postulate
B. triangles
C. common line segment
D. segment addition postulate
