The trigonometric function gives the ratio of different sides of a right-angle triangle. The length of the segment CD will be equal to 12cm (60/5).
What are Trigonometric functions?
The trigonometric function gives the ratio of different sides of a right-angle triangle.
[tex]\rm Sin \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Cos \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\\\\\Tan \theta=\dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\\\\\Cosec \theta=\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Perpendicular}\\\\\\Sec \theta=\dfrac{Hypotenuse}{Base}\\\\\\Cot \theta=\dfrac{Base}{Perpendicular}\\\\\\[/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.
1. For a regular pentagon, the measure of an internal angle is equal to 108°, therefore, the measure of ∠ABD is 108°.
2. Since the line CB is bisecting ∠ABD, therefore, the measure of the ∠CBD is 54°.
3. The length of the segment CD will be equal to the length of a side of the pentagon, therefore, the length of the segment CD will be equal to 12cm (60/5).
4. The trigonometric ratio that can be used to compare BC to CD using ∠CBD is Tangent.
5. The approximate length of BC can be determined as,
Tan(54°)=CD/BC
BC = CD/Tan(54°)
BC = 8.719 cm
6. The approximate length of BD can be determined using the Pythgorus theorem,
BD² = CD² + BC²
BD = 10.5835 cm
