    7. There are two flagpoles, one of height 12 and one of height 16. A rope is connected from the
    top of each flagpole to the bottom of the other. The ropes intersect at a point x units above
    the ground. Find x. In the accompanying diagram, this is equivalent to finding the length of

    The answers to Do You Know Introduction to Geometry are below.

    1. (Note that there are many acceptable proofs.) In right triangle ABC with right angle at A we
    wish to prove AC2 + AB2 = BC2 . Drop altitude AD to hypotenuse BC. 4ABC 4DAC
    DC AC DB AB
    4DBA giving us = and = . Now AC2 = BC DC and AB2 = BC DB, so
    AC BC AB BC
    AC2 + AB2 = BC(DC + DB) = BC2 .
