Triangle B C D is shown. Angle C D B is a right angle. Altitude a is drawn from point D to point E on side C B, forming a right angle. B D is labeled c and C D is labeled D. The length of B E is 18 and the length of E C is 4.
What is the value of a?

36 StartRoot 2 EndRoot

This is so hard and it’s for a test

Circle d circumscribes abc and abe. which statements about the triangles are true? statement i: the perpendicular bisectors of abc intersect at the same point as those of abe. statement ii: the distance from c to d is the same as the distance from d to e. statement iii: bisects cde. statement iv: the angle bisectors of abc intersect at the same point as those of abe. a. i only b. i and ii c. ii and iv d. i and iii e. iii and iv
