Answer

Let BC be x cm.

BD = BC + CD = (x + 20) cm

In Δ ABD,

tan 30°=PerpendicularBase13=ABBD13=ABx+20x+20=AB3..............(1)\text{tan 30°} = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\[1em] ⇒ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt3} = \dfrac{AB}{BD}\\[1em] ⇒ \dfrac{1}{\sqrt3} = \dfrac{AB}{x + 20}\\[1em] ⇒ x + 20 = AB\sqrt3 …………..(1)

In Δ ABC,

tan 45°=PerpendicularBase1=ABBC1=ABxx=AB..............(2)\text{tan 45°} = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\[1em] ⇒ 1 = \dfrac{AB}{BC}\\[1em] ⇒ 1 = \dfrac{AB}{x}\\[1em] ⇒ x = AB …………..(2)

From equation (1),

AB + 20 = AB 3\sqrt3

⇒ AB 3\sqrt3 - AB = 20

⇒ AB(3\sqrt3 - 1) = 20

⇒ AB(1.73 - 1) = 20

⇒ AB x (0.73) = 20

⇒ AB = 200.73\dfrac{20}{0.73}

⇒ AB = 27.32 cm

And BC = x = AB = 27.32 cm

Hence, AB = BC = 27.32 cm.
