Answer:

Option (1)

Step-by-step explanation:

By applying tangent rule in ΔABD,

tan(30°) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Adjacent side}}[/tex]

             = [tex]\frac{AB}{BD}[/tex]

BD = [tex]\frac{AD}{\text{tan}(30)}[/tex]

BD = [tex]\frac{200}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{3} } }[/tex]

BD = 200√3 ft

By applying tangent rule in ΔABC,

tan(60°) = [tex]\frac{AB}{BC}[/tex]

[tex]\sqrt{3}=\frac{200}{BC}[/tex]

BC = [tex]\frac{200}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

Since, CD = BD - BC

CD = 200√3 - [tex]\frac{200}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]

     = 346.41 - 115.47

     = 230.94 ft

     ≈ 230.9 ft

Therefore, Option (1) will be the correct option.
