Question

Find the length of AB.

Sum

Solution

From right triangle = ADE

tan 45° = `"AE"/"DE"`

1 = `"AE"/(30)`

AE = 30 cm

Also, from triangle DBE

tan 60° = `"BE"/"DE"`

`sqrt(3) = "BE"/(30)`

BE = `30sqrt(3)  "cm"`

BE = `30xx1.732/1000`

BE = `5196/100`

BE = 51.96

Therefore AB = AE + BE

= 30 + 51.96

= 81.96 cm
