Find the length of DB in the figure above.

(A) 8
(B) 10
(C) 12
(D) 15
(E) 20

Solution:

We see that triangle ACD is a 8-15-17 right triangle. Therefore, CD must be 8. Similarly, triangle ABC is a 3-4-5 right triangle. Since AC = 3(5) = 15 and AB = 5(5) = 25, BC must be 4(5) = 20. Since DB = BC - CD, then DB = 20 - 8 = 12.

Answer: C
