Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given an expression and are asked to find what it equals. We can see that the two square roots are being multiplied, therefore they follow the same standard as any multiplication problem, do as followed :
Since a square root and constant number are different terms, we cannot combine them together, therefore leave as is :
If ΔACB is an isosceles triangle, then ∠A ≅ ∠B and AC ≅ CB
Since ∠C = 120° and ∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°, then ∠A = 30° and ∠B = 30°
Next, look at ΔADB. ∠A + ∠D + ∠B = 180°, so ∠A + 90° + 30° = 180° ⇒ ∠A = 30°
Now look at ΔADC. Since ∠A = 30° in ΔACB, and ∠A = 60° in ΔADB, then ∠A = 30° in ΔADC <em>per angle addition postulate.</em>
Now that we have shown that ΔADB and ΔADC are 30-60-90 triangles, we can use that formula to calculate the side lengths.
CD = 4 cm (given) so AC = 2(4 cm) = 8 cm
Since AC ≅ BC, then BC = 8 cm. Therefore, BD = 4 + 8 = 12 <em>by segment addition postulate.</em>
Lastly, look at ΔBHD. Since ∠B = 30° and ∠H = 90°, then ∠D = 60°. So, ΔBHD is also a 30-60-90 triangle.
BD = 12 cm, so HD = = 6 cm
