QuestionThe figure below contains two right triangles with one common side. The length of the segment BCB C is BC=2 cm|B C|=2 \mathrm{~cm}, the length of the segment ADA D is AD=8 cm|A D|=8 \mathrm{~cm}, and the angle DAB\angle D A B is DAB=53\angle D A B=53^{\circ}.
Find each of the following (note that the angles you plug into trigonometric functions must be in radians): The length of the line segment BD:BD=6.389B D:|B D|=6.389 \square cm . The tangent of angle θ=BDC:tan(θ)=0.313\theta=\angle B D C: \tan (\theta)=0.313 The length of the line segement CD:CD=1C D:|C D|=1 (1) cm .

Studdy Solution
BD10.798|BD| \approx 10.798 cm tan(θ)0.188\tan(\theta) \approx 0.188 CD10.611|CD| \approx 10.611 cm
