Explanation:

Please see the attached image

I'm assuming you've already learned the special properties of a 30-60-90 triangle.

By drawing a 30-60-90 triangle by constructing line BC, and using the special proportions that come from it, we can find that

AB=AC/2=36/2=18

and

BC=AB*
`√(3)`=
`18√(3)`
