Question

Find legit BD

I need help for my assignment

Answer 1

BD = 4

Explanation:

∆BAD is congruent to ∆CAD based on the AAS Congruence Theorem.

Therefore:

BD = CD

3x + 1 = 5x - 1 (substitution)

Collect like terms

3x - 5x = -1 - 1

-2x = -2

Divide both sides by -2

x = -2/-2

x = 1

✔️BD = 3x + 1

Plug in the value of x

BD = 3(1) + 1

BD = 3 + 1

BD = 4
