Asked by Dale

Two sides of triangle CDE are 9 and 4, as shown. Write an equation in standard form for the line CD. Leave values as radicals.

There is a picture of a triangle that passes through point (4,0)

The answer is 65^1/2x + 4y = 4(65^1/2)

But, I don't understand how to do this problem.

You will have to give a better description of the diagram.

Here's a quick sketch I made in paint.

Remove the spaces. Also, Point E is on the origin.

your diagram is a contradiction.
you show angle E as 90º and sides 4,5, and 9
but 4^2 + 5^2 is not equal to 9^2.

I assume D is the given point (4,0).
Point C cannot be on the y-axis as you have shown.
