This is a little long, but it gets you there.

  1. ΔEBH ≅ ΔEBC . . . . HA theorem
  2. EH ≅ EC . . . . . . . . . CPCTC
  3. ∠ECH ≅ ∠EHC . . . base angles of isosceles ΔEHC
  4. ΔAHE ~ ΔDGB ~ ΔACB . . . . AA similarity
  5. ∠AEH ≅ ∠ABC . . . corresponding angles of similar triangle
  6. ∠AEH = ∠ECH + ∠EHC = 2∠ECH . . . external angle is equal to the sum of opposite internal angles (of ΔECH)
  7. ΔDAC ≅ ΔDAG . . . HA theorem
  8. DC ≅ DG . . . . . . . . . CPCTC
  9. ∠DCG ≅ ∠DGC . . . base angles of isosceles ΔDGC
  10. ∠BDG ≅ ∠BAC . . . .corresponding angles of similar triangles
  11. ∠BDG = ∠DCG + ∠DGC = 2∠DCG . . . external angle is equal to the sum of opposite internal angles (of ΔDCG)
  12. ∠BAC + ∠ACB + ∠ABC = 180° . . . . sum of angles of a triangle
  13. (∠BAC)/2 + (∠ACB)/2 + (∠ABC)/2 = 90° . . . . division property of equality (divide equation of 12 by 2)
  14. ∠DCG + 45° + ∠ECH = 90° . . . . substitute (∠BAC)/2 = (∠BDG)/2 = ∠DCG (from 10 and 11); substitute (∠ABC)/2 = (∠AEH)/2 = ∠ECH (from 5 and 6)
  15. This equation represents the sum of angles at point C: ∠DCG + ∠HCG + ∠ECH = 90°, ∴ ∠HCG = 45° . . . . subtraction property of equality, transitive property of equality. (Subtract ∠DCG+∠ECH from both equations (14 and 15).)

umka21 [38]

Answer:

The answer is 8.34

U have to use the SOH CAH TOA method

In this case I used tan

so,

tan 50= BC/7

solve for BC= 7* tan 50= 8.34
