Triangle ABC is a right triangle with legs AB and AC. Points X and Y lie on legs AB and AC, respectively, so that AX:XB=AY:YC=1:2. If BY=16 units and CX=28 units, what is the length of the hypotenuse BC? Express your answer in simplest radical form.

answer: need picture of problem

d) by the cross product property, ab^2 = bc multiplied by ad

step-by-step explanation:

we are given

in the given triangle abc

angle a is 90° and segment ad is perpendicular to segment bc

we can see that

triangle(abc) and triangle(abd) are similar because they have common side and same angle (90 degree)

so, triangles(abc) and abd are similar

since, they are similar

so, the ratio of their sides must be equal

we get

now, we can cross multiply

and we get

so, this could be step to prove it
