For this case we have the following trigonometric relationship:

[tex] cos(30)=\frac{CD}{2} [/tex]

From here, we clear the value of the CD segment:

[tex] CD = 2cos(30) [/tex]

[tex] CD = 2\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} [/tex]

[tex] CD = \sqrt{3} [/tex]

Then, since the figure is a rectangle, then it follows that:

[tex] AB = CD = \sqrt{3} [/tex]

Answer:

the length of line segment AB is:

[tex] AB = \sqrt{3} [/tex]

option 2

The length of the side CD and AB is √3

What are Trigonometric functions?

[tex]Sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]Cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]Tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}[/tex]

where perpendicular is the side of the triangle which is opposite to the angle, and the hypotenuse is the longest side of the triangle which is opposite to the 90° angle.

Given to us

  • BD = 2 inches
  • ∠CBD = 60°
  • ∠CDB = 30°

In ΔBCD,

For ∠B

[tex]Sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]Sin(\angle B)=\dfrac{CD}{BD}\\\\Sin(60^o)=\dfrac{CD}{2}\\\\CD = 2 \times Sin(60^o)\\\\ CD = 2 \times \dfrac{\sqrt3}{2}\\\\CD = \sqrt3[/tex]

Thus, the length of the side CD is √3.

Length of Side AB

As it is already given that the figure ABCD is a rectangle the length of side AB is equal to CD.

AB = CD = √3

Hence, the length of the side CD and AB is √3.
