I believe that this solution is not correct due to a misinterpetation (and over simplification) of the problem. The problem does not state that the segment lengths are equal, but rather that the angular arc measures are equal. If you solve the problem with that assumption then you will get BD = 57/5 leading to an answer of 062.
