The answer is D. You’re welcome.

Step by step: it’s asking you to find side BD, which is the adjacent to angle B.
And you know the opposite of angle B is AC or 3 inches.

This operation calls for TOA. T stands for Tan, OA stands for Opposite over Adjacent.
So we would do:
tan 60 = 3/x
And then next would be
x = 3/tan 60
Then, you probably have a calculator, so on a calculator do 3 divided by 60 and then press tan and press equal. You will get 1.73 which rounds to 1.7
