A U. S. company acquired a Malaysian subsidiary at the beginning of the year. At the date of acquisition, the subsidiary reported plant assets of RM800,000. During the year, it acquired plant assets of RM300,000 and reported depreciation expense of RM100,000, of which RM40,000 related to plant assets acquired during the year. The U. S.$/RM exchange rate was $0.25 on the acquisition date, $0.22 when the new plant assets were acquired, $0.20 at the end of the year, and the average rate for the year was $0.23.
Required:
(a) What is the subsidiary’s remeasured depreciation expense for the year?

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.
