Answer: 30.43

Step-by-step explanation: The smaller triangle has an angle of 54°. The hypothenus is 20, so we're looking for the opposite using SOHCAHTOA

Sin x = opp/hyp

Sin 54 =opp/ 20

Opp= sin54 ×20

Opp= 16.18

Therefore, BD is 16.18

In the bigger triangle, with taking the angle 28° we have DC to be the adjacent.

Tan 28° = 16.18/adj

Adj = 16.18/tan 28°

Adj = 30.43

DC = 30.43
