Respuesta :

The answer is BC=13 and DB=24

Answer:

(C)BC = 13, DB = 24

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Side AC and side BD are perpendicular bisectors of each other, then from the figure, we have

DE=EB=12(Side AC and side BD are perpendicular bisectors of each other)

Now, from ΔBEC, we have

[tex](BC)^2=(BE)^2+(EC)^2[/tex]

=[tex](12)^2+(5)^2[/tex]

=[tex]144+25[/tex]

=[tex]169[/tex]

Therefore, BC=[tex]\sqrt{169}=13[/tex]

Thus, BC=13

Also, DB=DE+EB

DB=12+12

DB=24

Therefore,  BC = 13, DB = 12
