Length Bc
1. **State the problem:** We need to find the length of side BC in quadrilateral ABCD given angles and side lengths, using the sine and cosine rules.
2. **Given data:**
- AB = 9.4 cm
- AD = 12.8 cm
- BD = 13.3 cm
- \(\angle A = 72^\circ\)
- \(\angle C = 54^\circ\)
- \(\angle D = 39^\circ\)
3. **Use the sine rule in triangle BCD to find BC:**
The sine rule states:
$$\frac{q}{\sin(39^\circ)} = \frac{13.3}{\sin(54^\circ)}$$
where \(q = BC\).
4. **Rearrange to solve for \(q\):**
$$q = \frac{13.3 \times \sin(39^\circ)}{\sin(54^\circ)}$$
5. **Calculate the sines:**
- \(\sin(39^\circ) \approx 0.6293\)
- \(\sin(54^\circ) \approx 0.8090\)
6. **Substitute values:**
$$q = \frac{13.3 \times 0.6293}{0.8090} \approx \frac{8.370}{0.8090} \approx 10.35$$
7. **Final answer:**
Length of BC is approximately \(10.4\) cm correct to 3 significant figures.
**Summary:** Using the sine rule in triangle BCD, we found \(BC = 10.4\) cm.
