Calculate the length of AC

Calculate the length of AC

Solution

To calculate the length of ACAC, we first need to analyze the given information in the diagram.

Here's what we know from the image:

  1. ABAB is perpendicular to BCBC.
  2. BDBD bisects the angle at point DD with DAB=53\angle DAB = 53^\circ and DBC=67\angle DBC = 67^\circ.
  3. BC=91mBC = 91 \, \text{m}.

We need to find the length of ACAC.

Steps to Solve:

  1. Identify triangles involved: The triangles involved are ABD\triangle ABD and BCD\triangle BCD.

  2. Use trigonometric ratios: Since DAB=53\angle DAB = 53^\circ and DBC=67\angle DBC = 67^\circ, and considering that BDBD is a straight line bisecting DD, we can use the trigonometric ratios to find ABAB and BCBC.

  3. Calculate ABAB using trigonometry: In BCD\triangle BCD: tan(67)=BDBC\tan(67^\circ) = \frac{BD}{BC} So, BD=BCtan(67)BD = BC \cdot \tan(67^\circ) Since BC=91mBC = 91 \, \text{m}, BD=91tan(67)BD = 91 \cdot \tan(67^\circ)

  4. Calculate ACAC: To find ACAC, we can use the cosine law or extend further using trigonometry. However, once we have BDBD and BCBC the lengths of sides complete required remain.
