Seth is using the figure shown below to prove Pythagorean Theorem using triangle similarity.
In the given triangle ABC, angle A is 90° and segment AD is perpendicular to segment BC.
The figure shows triangle ABC with right angle at A and segment AD. Point D is on side BC.
Part A: Identify a pair of similar triangles. (2 points)
Part B: Explain how you know the triangles from Part A are similar. (4 points)
Part C: If DB = 9 and DC = 4, find the length of segment DA. Show your work. (4 points)
