Question 198969: in the accompanying diagram, AS is an altitude to the hypotenuse of triangle CAR. if CA=12 and CR=16, find the lenth of CS. Answer by solver91311(6137) (Show Source):
As described, the only thing that you can say for certain is that CS is less than 12 but greater than 0, however it can be any of the infinite values that exist between those two numbers. You are either leaving something out, describing the figure incorrectly, or are simply presenting a problem that cannot be solved with the given information.
