Question 1044204: Points A, B and C are collinear. Point B is the midpoint of the line segment AC. Point D is a point not collinear with the other points for which DA=DB and DB=BC=10. Then DC is:
A) 20/✔️3
B) 10✔️2
C) 10✔️3
D) 20
E) 40/✔️3 Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let y = distance of point D from segment AB.
Then .
===>
But also the distance of the foot of the perpendicular bisector of AB from point C is 5+10 = 15 units. Hence,
===> ===>
===> .
