Let triangle ABC be a right triangle such that B is a right angle. A circle with diameter of BC meets side AC at D. If the area of ABC is 180 and AC = 35, then what is BD?
+1641 Hint: BD is the altitude of a triangle ABC. You can use the isosceles right triangle for your convenience.
My calculations show that BD = 17.5 
If you don't prove me wrong then I guess I'm right.
+1641 My above answer is incorrect!!!
I'll give it a try again.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AC = 35 [ABC] = 180 u2
BD = (180 * 2) / 35
