Answer:


AB=√(3)\ in

Explanation:

The correct question is

The diagonal of rectangle ABCD measures 2 inches in length.

What is the length of line segment AB?

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

In the right triangle ABD


cos(30^o)=(AB)/(BD) ----> by CAH (adjacent side divided by the hypotenuse)

substitute the given values


cos(30^o)=(AB)/(2)

Remember that


cos(30^o)=(√(3))/(2)

so


(AB)/(2)=(√(3))/(2)


AB=√(3)\ in

What is the length of line segment AB? 1 inch v3 inches 4 inches 475 inches​-example-1
