Gaggle inc. decides to wrongly infringe on chirp chirp's patent and establish a similar "knock-off" product because chirp chirp is just a small start-up company and they lack the money to litigate in court with gaggle, inc.
gaggle, inc. is:
a. acting is war.
b. unethically exploiting their power and size in the marketplace.
c. ethically using the civil legal system just like everyone else.
d. ethically challenging the role of patent rights in society
e. none of the above

B. Unethically exploiting their power and size in the marketplace.

Explanation:

Infringing upon a patent in this way breaks the ethical barrier. Gaggle Inc. not on builds the knock-off product but does so because they realize that Chirp Chirp does not have the financial capability to fight them. If both companies were of a similar stature Gaggle Inc. would not have done this as they would be penalized after legal proceedings.

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.
