\(If\ BD = 8,\ BC = 3,\ CE = 1,\ AC = 19\ and\ AB = 13,\ then\ what\ is\ DE?\)

\(f_{AB}(x)=\sqrt{13^2-x^2}\\ f_{BC}(x)=\sqrt{3^2-(x-19)^2}\\ 169-x^2=9-x^2+38x-361\\ 38x=169-9+361=521\\ x_B=13.7105\\ y_B=\color{red }\sqrt{-18.9...}\)

The triangle ABC, with sides 3, 19, 13 is not possible.

Find the radius of the semicircle.

Let the side length of the squares be s.

Case A) Squares next to each other.

Then the radius of the semicircle is \(\color{blue}r=s\sqrt{2}.\)

Case B) Squares on top of each other.

Then the radius of the semicircle is:

\(r^2=(2s)^2+(\frac{s}{2})^2\\ r=\sqrt{\frac{4\cdot4s^2+s^2}{4}}\\ \color{blue}r=\frac{s}{2}\sqrt{5}\)
