simpler version of answer above / below me
2 square root(3)
For a 30-60-90 triangle the sides always have the same relationship
Short leg = a
Long leg = a√3
Hypotenuse = 2a
BC is the short leg of ∆ABC
Given BC = 2
BC = a
Therefor
a = 2
AB = 2a = 4
AC = a√3 = 2√3
For ∆ACD
As above AC = 2√3
Since AC is the hypotenuse of ∆ACD
2a = 2√3
a = √3
CD = a = √3
AD = a√3 = 3
For ∆BCD
As above
BC = 2
CD = √3
Since BC is the hypotenuse of ∆BCD
2a = 2
a = 1
DB = a = 1

Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
3/6 = 12/24
The answer of this question is b
The answer is a 40% discount because it costs $24 less than the original price and 24 divided by 60 is .4 or 40%!
