What is the length of side BC?
1. AD = 6
2. x = 36
To determine how the angles affect each other, PLUG IN.
Just be sure to:
-- Satisfy the conditions given in the problem.
-- Satisfy the rules of geometry (the sum of the angles inside a triangle must be 180, etc.).
The result is the following:
The values in the figure above show that ∠ABD = ∠DAB.
Thus, AD = BD = BC.
Question rephrased: What is the length of AD or BD?
Statement 1: AD = 6
SUFFICIENT.
Statement 2: x=36
No information about any of the lengths.
INSUFFICIENT.
The correct answer is
A.
