Answers for 5.3. coninues Forse with pages 313-317 27. Sample answer: Since AABC is a right triangle, its area is 4(AB + AC), The area of AABC is also the sum of the areas of AABD, AADC, and ADBC. This sum is 1 1 1 3x(AB) + 5x(4C) + Fx(BC), of 3x(AC + AB + BC), Setting H(AB + AC) equal to 3x(AC + AB + BC) and solving for x gives x =< AB AC for x gives.x = Fo a 5.3 Problem Solving 28.
