    Angle DEC = 30 degrees, angle CED = 30 degrees as well. Then CD and DE are congruents. Both segmentes have size of 15 units. Then BC = 45. The side "x" is half of BC, then x = 22.5.

    Third method; starts out like the first, but takes a different direction in the middle. All angles are in degrees. EDB = 60, so EDC = (180 -- 60) = 120. CED = 30, so ECB = (180 -- 120 -- 30) = 30. Therefore triangle DEC is isosceles, as you said, even though it doesn't look it; but hey, the diagram is "not necessarily to scale." Anyway, since the triangle is isosceles, side DE = side DC. In a 30-60-90 triangle like EDB, the side opposite the 30-degree angle is one-half the hypotenuse; so DC = DE = (DB/2) = 30/2 = 15; and BC = 30 + 15 = 45. And of course the big triangle ABC is also 30-60-90 and CA is opposite the 30-degree angle; so x = 45/2 = 22.5. Alea jacta est! 🤠

    Because angle BDE is and exterior angle to triangle CDE, we have angle BDE = angle DCE + angle DEC, so that 60 = 30 + angle DEC => angle DEC = 30, which makes triangle CDE isosceles => CD = DE = 15, so that segment BC = BD + CD = 30 + 15 = 45. Because triangle is a 30-60-90 right triangle, AC = (1/2)(BC), So, x = (1/2)(45) = 45/2 = 22.5. Done!

    Thank you, we always enjoy your teachings. We created a 3rd method by using twice the 30°-60°-90° triangle properties: AE = a (shortest leg), AC= a√3 = x, and CE = 2a = 15√3, therefore x = a√3 = ((15√3)/(2)) (√3) = 15(3)/2 = 45/2 =22.5 units

    DE = 1/2 DB = 15 If angle DEA = 90° and angle CEA = 60° then angle DEC = 30°. If angle CBA = 30° then angle ACB = 60° and angle ECD = 30° => CD = DE = 15. CB = CD+DB = 15+30 = 45. If angle CBD = 30° => CA = 1/2 CB = 1/2•45 = 22.5

    For the last part in the 1st method, I used the basic geometry i.e. 30-60-90 special rt∆EAC Since c= 15√3 and c= 2b b= 15√3/2 And a= b√3 a= (15√3/2)(√3) a= (15)(3)/2 a= 45/2 or 22.5 units And this is technically the 3rd method. On a side note, I always use mnemonics for the rt∆s legs... a for altitude and b for base.

    EBD is a 30-60-90 therefore ABC is the same as is ACE we know BD is 30 units, therefore DE must be 15 units A line drawn from E perpendicular to a point P on BC bisects BC and creates another 30-60-90 Given DE ==15 , DP must then be 15/2 X==BC/2 == CP==PB DB == 30 DP == 15/2 X == DB - DP ≈= 22.5units

    At a quick glance, The intersection of two lines, BC and EA at C give the horizontal distance x. The equation of a line is y= m * x + c. Where m is the slope and c is the intersection of the Y axis at x = 0. The two slopes are tan(60) = sqrt(3) and tan(30) = 1/sqrt(3). Moving our origin to E , the line CE has intersection of Y at 0 and line DB at D. Then the two line equations are Y1 = sqrt(3) and Y2 = 1/sqrt(3) + DE. The intersection when Y1 = Y2 = ( 'X' in diagram) . Then DE = sin(30) * 30 = 15. Then sqrt(3) *x = x/sqrt(3) + 15= - x*sqrt(3)( 1 - 1/ 3) = 15 . Then x = - 13. This is the distance AE Then X, the vertical height = tan (60) * 13 = 22.5

    DBE is a 30°60°90° right triangle so its minor cathetus DE = 15 and DE = CD because CDE is isosceles being angles at the base 30° CB = CD + DB = 15+30 = 45 then we can work on the similarity between ABC and DBE CB : DB = AC : DE 45 : 30 = X : 15 X = 45/2

    I used similar triangles. CAB and DEB are similar, so (AE+15sqrt3)/15sqrt3 = x/15. Crossmultiplication simplifies this to 15AE+225sqrt3=15sqrt3*x. Since the 30-60-90 relations stipulate that x=AEsqrt3, the previous equation can be written as 15AE + 225sqrt3 = 45AE. Solving for AE produces AE= (15sqrt3)/2. Again using the 30-60-90 relations means x = 45/2 or 22.5. Is this a third way, a fourth way?

    ⇒x=22.5 but I used a third way. And I could only do this using lessons you've taught in your videos. So thank you. And sorry if I was too detailed in doing the proof. You tend to use "Recall that" and "Concentrating on" so I included RECALL and "For", as well as listing the rules before using them. GIVEN: ∠B°=30, line DB=30 units RULE: Sin is Opp/Hyp FOR △EDB, ∠B°=30, line DB=30, sin 30°=.5 ∴ line ED=15 RULE: Angles of △ sum to 180° For △EDB, ∠B°=30, ∠DEB=90° ∴ ∠EDB=60° RULE: Angles of any line sum to 180° RECALL: ∠EDB=60°, line BC=180° ∴ ∠EDC=120° For line AB: line AB=180°, ∠BED=90° ∴ AED=90° RECALL ∠AEC=60°, AED=90° ∴ ∠CED=30° For △EDB, RECALL ∠CED=30°, ∠EDC=120° ∴ ∠ECD=30° For △EDB, RECALL ∠CED=30°, ∠ECD=30° ∴ △EDB is isosceles RULE: Lines congruent to the unequal angle of an isosceles triangle are equal. RECALL line ED=15, △EDB is isosceles ∴ line CD=15 For line CB: RECALL line DB=30, line CD=15 ∴ line CB=45 RECALL: line CB=45, ∠B°=30 sin 30°=.5 x=45•.5 ∴ x=22.5 Solution: x=22.5

    This seems inefficient. We know, as you said, that DE is 15 and that angle ECD (or ECB) is 30 degrees. CED is also 30, so triangle CED is isoceles. Thus CD is 15 and CB is 45. By 30-60-90 we know that AC (x) is half of CB, 22.5.
