Answer:

BD=4\sqrt{3}\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

AD=12\ units

3CD=12 ----> CD=4\ units

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Triangles ABD and BCD are similar by AA Similarity Theorem

Remember that

If two figures are similar, then the ratio of its corresponding sides is proportional

so

\frac{BD}{AD}=\frac{CD}{BD}

substitute the given values

\frac{BD}{12}=\frac{4}{BD}

BD^2=48

BD=\sqrt{48}\ units

simplify

BD=4\sqrt{3}\ units
