Triangle ABC is a right triangle with angle ABC equal to 90 degrees. The length of AC is 7 units and the length of AB is 5 unit
What is the length, in units, of segment CD?

The first thing to notice is that the triangles are similar, and right triangles. 

BC = 2sqrt(6)

 

ABC side ratios are 

5 : 2sqrt(6) : 7

 

DAC side ratios are

? : 7 : x, where x = CD

 

Looking for x, 7/(2sqrt(6))*7 = 49sqrt(6)/12

 

I hope this helped. :)))
