The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the given information We have a quadrilateral ABCD with the following angles: - \( \angle B = 60^\circ \) - \( \angle C = 60^\circ \) - \( \angle D = 90^\circ \) We are also given the lengths: - \( AD = 3\sqrt{3} \) cm - \( BC = 6\sqrt{3} \) cm ### Step 2: Draw the figure Draw quadrilateral ABCD with the given angles and label the sides accordingly. ### Step 3: Draw parallel lines Draw a line parallel to AC from point A to point E, and another parallel line from point D to point F. This will help us in applying trigonometric ratios. ### Step 4: Analyze triangle EFC In triangle EFC, since \( EF \) is parallel to \( AD \), we can use the sine ratio: \[ \sin 60^\circ = \frac{EF}{EC} \] Given that \( EF = AD = 3\sqrt{3} \), we can substitute: \[ \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{EC} \] ### Step 5: Solve for EC Cross-multiplying gives: \[ EC = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}} = 6 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 6: Find BE Now, we know \( BC = 6\sqrt{3} \) cm, so: \[ BE = BC - EC = 6\sqrt{3} - 6 \] ### Step 7: Find AE Since \( \angle ABE = 60^\circ \) and \( \angle AEF = 90^\circ \), triangle ABE is also 60-60-60, making it an equilateral triangle. Thus: \[ AE = BE = 6\sqrt{3} - 6 \] ### Step 8: Find FD Since \( FD \) is parallel to \( AE \), we have: \[ FD = AE = 6\sqrt{3} - 6 \] ### Step 9: Analyze triangle EFC again In triangle EFC, we can use the tangent ratio: \[ \tan 60^\circ = \frac{EF}{FC} \] Substituting the values: \[ \sqrt{3} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{FC} \] ### Step 10: Solve for FC Cross-multiplying gives: \[ FC = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}} = 3 \text{ cm} \] ### Step 11: Find CD Finally, we can find \( CD \): \[ CD = BE + FC = (6\sqrt{3} - 6) + 3 \] \[ CD = 6\sqrt{3} - 3 \] ### Step 12: Factor out the common term Factoring out the common term gives: \[ CD = 3(2\sqrt{3} - 1) \text{ cm} \] ### Final Answer Thus, the length of \( CD \) is \( 3(2\sqrt{3} - 1) \) cm. ---
