<li>In triangle ABC, AC = 6 and BC = 3. Point P lies on AB between A and B such that
CP is perpendicular to AB. Which of the following could be the length of CP ?
(A) 2
(B) 4
(C) 5
(D) 7
(E) 8</li>
</ol>
<p>how to tackle this problem.........i'm at a loss.
(Note: this is a level 5 question)</p>
<p>whats the answer?</p>
<p>2.</p>
<p>If you draw the segment CP, you will see the right triangle BCP with hypoteneuse 3. The hypoteneuse is the longest side of a right triangle. Of the choices, only side length 2 is shorter than 3.</p>
<p>yeah…the answer is two…
