Question

Use special right triangle:
What is the length of (BD)

What is the length of (BC)

Answer 1

BC = 6.9

Step--step explanation:

Reference angle = 30°

Adjacent = BC

Hypotenuse = 8

Apply trigonometric function, CAH:

Cos 30° = Adj/Hypotenuse

Cos 30° = BC/8

8*Cos 30° = BC

6.92820323 = BC

BC = 6.9 (to the nearest tenth)
