Respuesta :

we know that

AB=CD

AD=BC

in the right triangle DBC

[tex]cos\ 30=\frac{adjacent\ side\ angle\ 30}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

[tex]adjacent\ side\ angle\ 30=DC\\ hypotenuse=BD=2\ in[/tex]

substitute

[tex]cos\ 30=\frac{DC}{2}[/tex]

[tex]DC=2*cos\ 30\\\\DC=2*\frac{\sqrt{3} }{2} \\\\ DC=\sqrt{3}\ in[/tex]

[tex]DC=\sqrt{3}\ in=1.73\ in[/tex]

remember that

AB=CD

so

[tex]AB=\sqrt{3}\ in=1.73\ in[/tex]

therefore

the answer is

the length of line segment AB is [tex]\sqrt{3}\ in[/tex]
