Answer:
(3)/(2)

Explanation:

Tangent of an angle in right angled triangle is defined as the ratio of opposite side to adjacent side.

In triangle
CAB,

Given that
CB=1 and
AB=2

tan(
CAB)=
(CB)/(AB)=
(1)/(2)

In triangle
BAD,

Given
AD=3

tan(
BAD)=
(BD)/(AD)=
(BD)/(3)

Since,angle
BAD is same as angle
CAB,their tangents are equal.


(1)/(2)=(BD)/(3)

So,
BD=(3)/(2)
