Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Using the right triangle altitude theorem, the correct proportions are:
[tex] \dfrac{AB}{AC} = \dfrac{AC}{AD} [/tex]
[tex] \dfrac{AB}{x} = \dfrac{x}{AD} [/tex]
[tex] \dfrac{25}{x} = \dfrac{x}{16} [/tex]
[tex] x^2 = 25 \times 16 [/tex]
[tex] x = 20 [/tex]
AC = 20 cm
[tex] \dfrac{AB}{CB} = \dfrac{CB}{DB} [/tex]
[tex] \dfrac{AB}{y} = \dfrac{y}{DB} [/tex]
[tex] \dfrac{25}{y} = \dfrac{y}{9} [/tex]
[tex]y^2 = 25 \times 9[/tex]
[tex]y = 15[/tex]
CB = 15 cm
