Answer:

BC =
1.8

Explanation:

∆ABC is an equilateral ∆ because all three angles are equal. Therefore, all its sides would be equal also. This means AB = BC = AC

Thus, let's find the value of x.


(7)/(4)x - 1 = (9)/(3)x - 3

Collect like terms


(7)/(4)x - (9)/(3)x = 1 - 3


(7x)/(4) - 3x = -2


(7x - 12x)/(4) = -2


(-5x)/(4) = -2

Multiply both sides by 4


(-5x)/(4)*4 = -2*4


-5x = -8

Divide both sides by -5


x = (8)/(5)

AB = BC = AC

Therefore,

BC =
(7)/(4)x - 1

Plug in the value of x

BC =
(7)/(4)*(8)/(5) - 1

BC =
(56)/(20) - 1

BC =
2.8 - 1

BC =
1.8
