Answer:

89.8 feet

Explanation:

In ΔBCD, the measure of ∠D=90°, the measure of ∠B=75°, and DB = 93 feet. Find the length of BC to the nearest tenth of a foot.

We would solve the above question using Sine rule

The formula is given as:

DB/sin D = BC/sin B

93/sin 90 = BC/sin 75

We cross multiply

sin 90 × BC = 93 × sin 75

BC = 93 × sin 75/sin 90

BC = 89.83 feet

Approximately BC = 89.8 feet
