Question 1193846: Angle C is the right angle. In right △ABC, m∠B = 30°. Also, AB = 16 radical 3
and AD bisects ∠BAC

AB is 16 sqrt(3), the hypotenuse.
In this 30-60-90 rt triangle, AC is therefore 8 sqrt(3), half the hypotenuse.
That makes BC 16
so BD is 8

Also, triangle ACD has a 30 degree angle with adjacent side 8 sqrt(3). That makes the opposite side 8 sqrt(3)/sqrt(3) or 8.
