The length of line BC is 16. 12

How to determine the value

We have that;

  • Line BD = 12
  • Line AD = 5
  • Line BC = unknown

Let's line BA, using Pythagorean theorem

BA =

[tex] \sqrt{ {12}^{2} + {5}^{2} } [/tex]

BA =

[tex] \sqrt{144 + 25} [/tex]

BA =

[tex] \sqrt{169} [/tex]

BA = 13

Now, let's find BC

cos 30 = line BA/ line BC

0. 8660 = 14/ BC

cross multiply

BC = 14/0.8660

BC = 16. 12

Thus, the length of line BC is 16. 12
