Answer:

BD = 4.99 units

Explanation:

Consider the triangle ABD only. The angle formed is 31 degrees which occurs between two sides that are AD and BC. We know that for a right angled triangle, the angle can always be taken as an angle between hypotenuse and base. Thus, The perpendicular sides is then 3 units, where base is BD and Hypotenuse is AD Using formula for tanθ tanθ = Perpendicular/Base tan31 = 3/BD 0.601 = 3/BD BD = 3/0.601 BD = 4.99 units
