Respuesta :

triangle ABC 45-45-90
AB = 4 so AC = 2 square root 2

triangle ACD 30-60-97
AC = 
2 square root 2
AD = 2(AC)
AD = 4 square root 2

answer is

C) 4 square root 2

Answer:

(C)

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that The steepest side of the model, AB, measures 4 inches, thus

From ΔABC, using the trigonometry, we have

[tex]\frac{AC}{AB}=sin45^{\circ}[/tex]

Substituting the given value, we have

⇒[tex]\frac{AC}{4}=sin45^{\circ}[/tex]

⇒[tex]AC=4{\times}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

⇒[tex]AC=2\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Now, from ΔACD, we have

[tex]\frac{AC}{AD}=sin30^{\circ}[/tex]

⇒[tex]\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{AD}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

⇒[tex]AD=4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Therefore, the length of AD will be [tex]4\sqrt{2}[/tex]

thus, option C is correct.
