Answer:

BC = 8 cm

Explanation:

tan(x) = sin(x)/cos(x)

sin(x) is the opposite side of the angle x.

cos(x) is the side with a right angle to sin(x).

2 = 12/EC

EC = 12/2 = 6 cm

=>

CD = ED - EC = 10 - 6 = 4 cm

now, the same tan(x) relation had to be true for BCD.

tan(x) = BC/CD

2 = BC/4

BC = 8 cm
