Question

What is the length of segment BD? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. triangles ABC and ABD in which the triangles share segment AB and angle B is a right angle, the measure of angle CAB is 34 degrees, the measure of angle BDA is 31 degrees, and the measure of segment AB is 3 units 1.8 units 3.5 units 4.99 units 5.82 units

Answer 1

Answer:

BD = 4.99 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the triangle ABD only.

The angle formed is 31 degrees which occurs between two sides that are AD and BC.

We know that for a right angled triangle, the angle can always be taken as an angle between hypotenuse and base.

Thus, The perpendicular sides is then 3 units, where base is BD and Hypotenuse is AD

Using formula for tanθ

tanθ = Perpendicular/Base

tan31 = 3/BD

0.601 = 3/BD

BD = 3/0.601

BD = 4.99 units
