In the triangle ABC It is known that the angle C = 90 °, the angle B = 30 °, on the leg BC we marked the point D such that the angle ADC = 60 °. Find the leg BC if CD = 5 cm.

In a right-angled triangle ABC, the second acute angle CAB is equal to:
∠ САВ = 90 ° – ∠ В = 90 ° – 30 ° = 60 °.
In a right-angled triangle ACD, the second acute angle CAD is:
∠ CAD = 90 ° – ∠ CDA = 90 ° – 60 ° = 30 °.
Leg CD = 5 cm and lies opposite this corner. It follows from this that the hypotenuse AD = 2 * 5 = 10 (cm).
Consider triangle ADB, in it:
∠ B = 30 °,
∠ DAB = ∠ CAB – ∠ CAD = 60 ° – 30 ° = 30 °.
We get that triangle ADB is isosceles, AD = BD = 10 (cm).
BC = CD + BD = 5 + 10 = 15 (cm).
Answer: the BC leg is 15 cm.
