The info in the post is not enough to give a unique answer.

Actually, there are infinitely many non-congruent triangles satisfying to the given data and having different values of the length of the segment  DB.


So, the offered problem is  DEFECTIVE  (is a  fake).


Also note that the midpoint is a point and  CAN NOT  be named/called as  BD.

The name  BD  suits for segments  ONLY.
