As △ A B D is 3 0 ° − 6 0 ° − 9 0 ° B D = 2 1 A B = 1 cm ∴ E N = 1 2 . And by pythagorean theorem A D = 3 .
Then △ N A E also is 3 0 ° − 6 0 ° − 9 0 ° ⇒ △ N A E ∼ △ A B D ⇒ A D E N = 2 A N ⇒ 3 1 2 = 2 A N ∴ A N = 3 2 4 = 8 3
Last, applying pythagorean theorem in △ A B N , A N = ( 8 3 ) 2 + 2 2 = 1 4 c m
