question 4 (mandatory) (1 point) determine the value of x to the nearest cm. a) 91 cm b) 85 cm c) 78 cm d) 102 cm
Step1: Analyze triangles
First, consider \(\triangle BCD\). Using the Law of Sines: \(\frac{BD}{\sin C}=\frac{CD}{\sin\angle CBD}\). Since \(\angle CBD = 180^{\circ}-(115^{\circ} + 55^{\circ})=10^{\circ}\), \(CD = 52\mathrm{cm}\), \(C = 115^{\circ}\). Then \(BD=\frac{52\times\sin115^{\circ}}{\sin10^{\circ}}\approx\frac{52\times0.9063}{0.1736}\approx271.4\mathrm{cm}\).
Step2: Use in \(\triangle ABE\)
Now consider \(\triangle ABE\) and \(\triangle BDE\). In \(\triangle ABE\), \(\angle A = 70^{\circ}\), in \(\triangle BDE\), \(\angle BDE=55^{\circ}\), \(\angle BED = 65^{\circ}\), so \(\angle ABD = 90^{\circ}\). Using the Law of Sines in \(\triangle ABD\) (where \(\angle ADB=180^{\circ}-(70^{\circ}+ 90^{\circ}) = 20^{\circ}\) is wrong approach, better: Since \(\triangle ABD\) and \(\triangle EBD\) (using Law of Sines in \(\triangle ABD\): \(\frac{AB}{\sin\angle ADB}=\frac{BD}{\sin\angle A}\), but wait, another way - notice that \(\triangle ABD\) and \(\triangle EBD\) (re - evaluate).
