by Circle Theorem}
Let 
, apply cosine law on 
![\[u^2=3^2+5^2-2(3)(5)cos120\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/b/9/cb9edf966b93fb32e04934643d7e38910d16d429.png)

Let 
, apply cosine law on 
![\[7^2=3^2+v^2-2(3)(v)cos60\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/6/e/c/6ec08e130c69354c1c6f6bbb0c55eba73426234f.png)

By Ptolemy Theorem,
![\[AB \cdot CD+AD \cdot BC=AC \cdot BD\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/8/f/9/8f90407491cc1fcb3e335391dabab417990ba5c0.png)
![\[8 \cdot 3+5 \cdot 3=7BD\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/9/4/9/9498c005ba103e2bb5e799ae3d3a05f0e615b88a.png)
![\[BD=\frac{39}{7}\]](http://latex.artofproblemsolving.com/c/5/1/c516c5649962b98d6b4f2fa26c9ebeba2eefde3a.png)
Since 
The answer is $\fbox{(D) \frac{39}{7} }$ (Error compiling LaTeX. Unknown error_msg)
