∠BCA=60-45=15
∠BAC=180-60=120
由正弦定理,得:BC=AB/sin∠BCA *sin∠BAC=40sin120/sin15
将CD延长交地面于H,因此:
CD=CH-DH=BCsin(45+30)-BHtan30
=BC sin75-BCcos75 tan30
=40sin120/sin15*(sin75-cos75tan30)
=40sin120/(sin15*cos30)*[sin75cos30-cos75sin30]
=40sin60/(sin15sin60)*sin(75-30)
=40/sin15* sin45
=40*(√6-√2)/4*√2/2
=10(√3-1)
