Answers:
AC = 221.37 feet
BC = 181.34 feet
The values are approximate.
=========================================================
Explanation:
Focus on triangle ACD for now.
The 67 degree angle adjacent to angle D helps us find that angle D = 180-67 = 113 degrees.
Let's find the missing angle C.
A+C+D = 180
55+C+113 = 180
C+168 = 180
C = 180-168
C = 12
Now we can use the Law of Sines to find side d, which is opposite angle D. This is the segment AC.
[tex]\frac{\sin(C)}{c} = \frac{\sin(D)}{d}\\\\\frac{\sin(12)}{50} = \frac{\sin(113)}{d}\\\\d\sin(12) = 50\sin(113)\\\\d = \frac{50\sin(113)}{\sin(12)}\\\\d \approx 221.369 190\\\\d \approx 221.37\\\\[/tex]
Segment AC is roughly 221.37 feet long.
Keeping our attention on triangle ACD, let's find side 'a'. This is the segment CD.
[tex]\frac{\sin(C)}{c} = \frac{\sin(A)}{a}\\\\\frac{\sin(12)}{50} = \frac{\sin(55)}{d}\\\\a\sin(12) = 50\sin(55)\\\\a = \frac{50\sin(55)}{\sin(12)}\\\\a \approx 196.995 186\\\\[/tex]
Segment CD is roughly 196.995186 feet long.
----------------------------------------------
Now move onto triangle BCD.
Use the sine ratio to determine side BC.
[tex]\sin(\text{angle}) = \frac{\text{opposite}}{\text{hypotenuse}}\\\\\sin(\text{D}) = \frac{\text{BC}}{\text{CD}}\\\\\sin(67) \approx \frac{\text{BC}}{196.995186}\\\\\text{BC} \approx 196.995186*\sin(67)\\\\\text{BC} \approx 181.335025\\\\\text{BC} \approx 181.34\\\\[/tex]
Segment BC is roughly 181.34 feet long.
