Help would be much appreciated

Figure is not accurate but i drew AE such that it is equal to BD and ED is equal to AB and AE is perpendicular to CD. And also ABDE is a rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

CD:AB

or, let CD be x

now

CD:AB= 1.5:1

or, x : 1.7 = 1.5 : 1

or, x/1.7 = 1.5/1

or, x = 2.6 m

CD = 2.6 m

ED=AB=1.7 m

now

CD = CE + ED

or, 2.6m =CE + 1.7m

or, CE = 2.6 m - 1.7 m

so, CE = 0.9 m

now

triangle CEA is a right angled triangle,

In triangle CEA, taking 52 as reference angle

tan52° = p/b

or,tan52° = CE/AE

or, tan52° = 0.9/AE

or, AE = 0.9/tan52°

so, AE = 0.7

now

AE = BD (given in the figure i uploaded)

so, BD = 0.7 m

step-by-step explanation:

consider an orange peel: if you want to try and lay it flat, you have to stretch it, we know exactly how things are being stretched or squashed at any given point. we have many different map projections because each has different patterns of some projections can even preserve certain features of the earth without
