Simply use the Pythagorean theorem to find DC. Triangle DCB is a right triangle. One of its legs is BC, given as 15.2 cm. Its hypotenuse is DB, given as 18.4 cm.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yes, you can use Pythagorean theorem here. a^2 + b^2 = c^2 where c is the hypotenuse

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

So, 15.2^2 + b^2 = 18.4^2 Solve for b.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

For part b, use a trig function to find the angle. Are you familiar with sin, cos, and tan?

@EcoBoost ?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Perfect! :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I don 't get CD=3.2

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

But. I do get CDB to be 56 :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Yes, ADC is correct, but check your. DC

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Perfect! :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

You got it! :)

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

What did you get for Ab.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

AB?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok, yeah. I get bigger than that.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):
