Let's solve this problem step-by-step.
STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:
Let's first establish that triangle BCD is a right-angle triangle.
Therefore, we can use Pythagoras theorem to find BC and solve this problem. Pythagoras theorem is displayed below:
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where c = hypotenus of right-angle triangle
Where a and c = other two sides of triangle
Now we can solve the problem by substituting the values from the problem into the Pythagoras theorem as displayed below:
Let a = BC
b = DC = 24
c = DB = 26
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
a^2 + 24^2 = 26^2
a^2 = 26^2 - 24^2
a = square root of ( 26^2 - 24^2 )
a = square root of ( 676 - 576 )
a = square root of ( 100 )
a = 10
Therefore, as a = BC, BC = 10.
If we want to check our answer, we can substitute the value of ( a ) from our answer in conjunction with the values given in the problem into the Pythagoras theorem. If the left-hand side is equivalent to the right-hand side, then the answer must be correct as displayed below:
a = BC = 10
b = DC = 24
c = DB = 26
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
10^2 + 24^2 = 26^2
100 + 576 = 676
676 = 676
FINAL ANSWER:
Therefore, BC is equivalent to 10.

Answer:
18) it is parallel to y axis
Hello!
To find the value of b, we need to use the Law of Sines. The law states,
sin A / a = sin B / b = sin C / c.
We are given these values: sin A = 55 degrees, side a = 8 cm, sin C = 82 degrees.
Since angle B is not given, we have to find it ourselves. We can find the measure of angle B by subtracting both the given angle values from 180 degrees because every triangle is equal to 180 degrees.
180 - 55 - 82 = 43 | The measure of sin B = 43 degrees.
sin (55) / 8 = sin (43) / b (multiply both sides by b)
0.10239... · b = 0.68199... (divide both sides by 0.10239...)
c = 6.6607...
The measure of side b is equal to about 6.7 centimeters.
