Hint :

Equilateral triangle has same sides and same angles.

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Suppose that one of the angles has a measure of y .

So angles are : y , y and y

_________________________________

Sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180° .

_________________________________

According above :


y + y + y = 180°


3y = 180°

Divide sides by 3


(3y)/(3) = (180)/(3) \\


y = 60°

We found that the measure of the angles are equal , so this is the measure of all three angles.

Question gave us one of the angles as

4x -12 .

So ;


4x - 12 = 60

Add sides 12


4x - 12 + 12 = 60 + 12


4x = 72

Divide sides by 4


(4x)/(4) = (72)/(4) \\


x = (9 * 2 * 4)/(4) \\


x = 9 * 2


x = 18

We found that sides are same ,

So :


BZ = DB = DZ = 7x + 119 \\

Thus :


DB = 7x + 119


DB = 7(18) + 119


DB = 126 + 119


DB = 245

The correct answer is Option three .
