Answer:

60ft

Step-by-step explanation:

DC is 50% longer than BD (given)

BD is 40ft (given)

DC is 50% longer than BD this means that DC= BD+50% of  BD

40ft +50/100 * 40

=40ft +20ft

=60ft

Another way to solve this could be DC is 150%of BD as BD =40ft=100% of it's length.

So, 150/100 *40

=60ft

Hope this helps.

Please mark me as brainliest.
