Question

What is the answer to number 5.
Given BD=24 and PC=13, find PB

Answer 1

the second one because of the points and it would need to be pc=13

Answer 2

Well first, we know BD which is equal to 24 is bisected by QC. Thus BC is 12 units long. Now that we know 2 sides of the triangle PBC, we can find the third missing side, PB, using the Pythagorean Theorem:

BC^2 + PB^2 = PC^2

12^2 + PB^2 = 13^2

144 + PB^2 = 169

PB^2 = 25

PB = 5
