Part (a)
<h3>Answer: 12.1</h3>-----------------------
Work Shown:
We'll apply the sine rule since we have a known opposite side of AB = 10 and an unknown hypotenuse we want to find BD.
Focus on triangle ABD
sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse
sin(D) = AB/BD
sin(56) = 10/x
x*sin(56) = 10
x = 10/sin(56)
x = 12.062179
x = 12.1
Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

Part (b)
<h3>Answer: 15.1</h3>-----------------------
Work Shown:
Draw an xy coordinate grid.
Place point A at the origin (0,0).
Point B is 10 units above this, so B is at (0,10).
Point C is at (18,10) since we move 18 units to the right of B.
Point D is at approximately (6.745085, 0). The 6.745085 is from solving tan(56) = 10/x for x.
Refer to the diagram below.
Apply the distance formula for the points C and D.
Segment CD is roughly 15.1 cm long.
