Answer

Let BC be x cm

BD = BC + CD = x + 20 cm

In Δ ABD,

tan 45°=PerpendicularBase1=ABBD1=ABx+20x+20=AB..............(2)\text{tan 45°} = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\[1em] ⇒ 1 = \dfrac{AB}{BD}\\[1em] ⇒ 1 = \dfrac{AB}{x + 20}\\[1em] ⇒ x + 20 = AB …………..(2)

In Δ ABC,

tan 60°=PerpendicularBase3=ABBC3=ABxx=AB3..............(2)\text{tan 60°} = \dfrac{Perpendicular}{Base}\\[1em] ⇒ \sqrt3 = \dfrac{AB}{BC}\\[1em] ⇒ \sqrt3 = \dfrac{AB}{x}\\[1em] ⇒ x = \dfrac{AB}{\sqrt3} …………..(2)

From equation (1),

AB3+20=ABAB+203=3AB34.64=3ABAB34.64=AB(1.731)34.64=AB×(0.73)AB=34.640.73AB=47.32\dfrac{AB}{\sqrt3} + 20 = AB\\[1em] ⇒ AB + 20\sqrt3 = \sqrt3AB\\[1em] ⇒ 34.64 = \sqrt3AB - AB\\[1em] ⇒ 34.64 = AB(1.73 - 1)\\[1em] ⇒ 34.64 = AB \times (0.73)\\[1em] ⇒ AB = \dfrac{34.64}{0.73}\\[1em] ⇒ AB = 47.32

From equation (2),

x = AB3\dfrac{AB}{\sqrt3}

x = 47.323\dfrac{47.32}{\sqrt3}

x = 27.32 cm

Hence, AB = 47.32 cm and BC = 27.32 cm.
