Answer: DC=30.5

Explanation:

Use trigonometry to solve this question

  • sin=O/H
  • cos=A/H
  • tan=O/A

----------------------------------------------------------

First Step: find BD

- AB relative to 54° is [hypotenues]

- BD relative to 54° is [opposite]

- Therefore, we need to use O/H, which is Sin

- sin(54°)=O/20=20·sin(54°)=16.2

Second Step: Find DC

- DC relative to 28° is [adjacent]

- BD relative to 28° is [opposite]

- Therefore, we need to use O/A, which is tan

- tan(28°)=16.2/A=16.2/tan(28°)=30.5

Hope this helps!! :)
