Solution
Construction: Draw BX ⊥ AE
Then, BD = EX = 14 cm and BX = ED
AX = AE - EX = 16 - 14 = 2
In right ΔAEF,
tan30° = `"FE"/"AE"`
⇒ `(1)/sqrt(3) = "FE"/(16)`
⇒ FE = `(16)/sqrt(3)`
In right ΔBDC,
tan60° = `"BD"/"DC"`
⇒ `sqrt(3) = (14)/"DC"`
⇒ DC = `(14)/sqrt(3)`
In right ΔAXB,
tan45° = `"BX"/"AX"`
⇒ 1 = `"BX"/(2)`
⇒ BX = 2
⇒ ED = BX = 2
Now,
y = FC
FE + ED + DC
= `(16)/sqrt(3) + (14)/sqrt(3) + 2`
= `(30 + 2sqrt(3))/sqrt(3)`
= `(30 + 3.464)/(1.732)`
= 19.32.
