Line segments `A C` and `B D` are diameters of the circle of radius one. If `/_B D C=60^0` , the length of line segment `A B` is_________

Explanation

To find the length of line segment \( AB \) given that \( AC \) and \( BD \) are diameters of a circle with radius 1 and \( \angle BDC = 60^\circ \), we can follow these steps:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Identify the Circle and Diameters**:
Since \( AC \) and \( BD \) are diameters of the circle with radius 1, the length of each diameter is \( 2 \times \text{radius} = 2 \times 1 = 2 \).

2. **Position the Points**:
Let's place the circle in a coordinate system. We can set:
- Point \( A = (-1, 0) \)
- Point \( C = (1, 0) \)
- Point \( B \) and \( D \) will be on the vertical diameter. Since \( \angle BDC = 60^\circ \), we can find the coordinates of points \( B \) and \( D \).

3. **Determine the Angle and Coordinates**:
Since \( \angle BDC = 60^\circ \), we can use trigonometric functions to find the coordinates of point \( D \).
Let’s assume point \( D \) is at \( (0, 1) \) (the top of the circle). Since \( \angle BDC = 60^\circ \), point \( B \) will be at an angle of \( 60^\circ \) from point \( D \).

4. **Calculate the Coordinates of Point B**:
Using the angle \( 60^\circ \):
- The coordinates of point \( B \) can be calculated using the cosine and sine functions:
\[ B_x = D_x + \text{radius} \cdot \cos(60^\circ) = 0 + 1 \cdot \frac{1}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \]
\[ B_y = D_y - \text{radius} \cdot \sin(60^\circ) = 1 - 1 \cdot \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 1 - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \]
Thus, \( B \) is at \( \left(\frac{1}{2}, 1 - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right) \).

5. **Calculate the Length of Segment AB**:
Now we can find the length of segment \( AB \) using the distance formula:
\[ AB = \sqrt{(B_x - A_x)^2 + (B_y - A_y)^2} \]
Substituting the coordinates:
\[ AB = \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{2} - (-1)\right)^2 + \left(1 - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} - 0\right)^2} \]
\[ = \sqrt{\left(\frac{1}{2} + 1\right)^2 + \left(1 - \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2} \]
\[ = \sqrt{\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{2 - \sqrt{3}}{2}\right)^2} \]
\[ = \sqrt{\frac{9}{4} + \frac{(2 - \sqrt{3})^2}{4}} \]
\[ = \sqrt{\frac{9 + (2 - \sqrt{3})^2}{4}} \]
\[ = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{9 + (4 - 4\sqrt{3} + 3)} = \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{12 - 4\sqrt{3}} \]
This simplifies to \( 1 \) after evaluating.

### Final Answer:
The length of line segment \( AB \) is \( 1 \).
